Respiratory Mechanics and Gas Exchange in COVID-19–associated Respiratory Failure	2020-09-17		.txt	text/plain	1975	133	50	The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has dramatically increased the number of patients requiring mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. This single center cohort study of patients with COVID-19, with a positive RT-PCR for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), treated with mechanical ventilation was performed at New York Presbyterian Hospital-Weill Cornell Medicine from March 1st, 2020 through April 20th, 2020. This study of 267 patients demonstrates that respiratory failure related to COVID-19 meets the criteria for moderate to severe ARDS, given the initial median P:F ratio of 103. In this cohort, the baseline extrinsic PEEP, driving pressure, and static compliance were similar to ARDS Network trials, and the recent worldwide observational study, LUNGSAFE (Large observational study to UNderstand the Global impact of Severe Acute respiratory FailurE) (10) (11) (12) .
