Article Synopsis
- Early Career Members of Assembly 2 (Respiratory Intensive Care) attended the 2022 ERS International Congress in Barcelona, focusing on both acute and chronic respiratory failure.
- Key sessions included advancements in respiratory critical care, phenotyping ARDS for precision medicine, and discussions on COVID-19-related ARDS and post-critical care outcomes.
- The conference also featured a symposium on treating acute respiratory failure in COPD patients and innovations in mechanical ventilation, both in ICUs and at home.
The effectiveness of noninvasive respiratory support in severe COVID-19 patients is still controversial. We aimed to compare the outcome of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and hypoxemic respiratory failure treated with high-flow oxygen administered via nasal cannula (HFNC), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV), initiated outside the intensive care unit (ICU) in 10 university hospitals in Catalonia, Spain. We recruited 367 consecutive patients aged ≥ 18 years who were treated with HFNC (155, 42.

Methods: A 62-year-old man from Palamós (Spain) suffered a first mild coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) episode in March 2020, confirmed by 2 independent SARS-CoV-2 nasopharyngeal polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays and a normal radiograph.
