We present a case of a patient with history of OSA and PH convalescing from refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19 who was successfully extubated to average volume-assured pressure support (AVAPS). Strategic use of average volume-assured pressure support (AVAPS) mode of ventilation as a bridge in recovering COVID-19 has the potential to facilitate earlier extubation, conserve traditional ventilators, and prevent re-intubation/tracheostomies. We present a case of a patient with history of OSA and PH convalescing from refractory acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) secondary to COVID-19 who was successfully extubated to AVAPS. ./cache/cord-306878-hmy3ovuq.txt ./txt/cord-306878-hmy3ovuq.txt
