Asynchronies are common in patients with ARDS, and invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) is common and can occur in all ventilatory modes. Patients with ARDS due to COVID-19 that needed intubation and IMV present a challenge for the physician and have been associated with a mortality rate of 24.5% (2) , despite this, to this date, it has not been described the prevalence of asynchronies in patients with ARDS because of COVID-19 infection and its relationship with the prognosis of their disease. Studies are needed to determine the prevalence of asynchronies in patients with IMV and SARS-CoV-2 infection and its association with poor results. Asynchronies during mechanical ventilation are associated with mortality Pathological findings of COVID-19 associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome ./cache/cord-258896-ck7lh9rg.txt ./txt/cord-258896-ck7lh9rg.txt
