Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated critically ill COVID-19 patients in a Brazilian ICU between March and June 2020, revealing that these patients had distinct demographics and clinical characteristics compared to critically ill patients from the previous year.
- - COVID-19 patients had longer ICU stays (median of 7 days vs. 3 days) and required more mechanical ventilation, yet there was no significant difference in survival rates after 28 days between the two groups.
- - Overall, COVID-19 resulted in greater demand for hospital resources, highlighted by an increased duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stays, but similar mortality rates when adjusted for various clinical factors.
