Although the potential benefits of sedation with volatile anesthetics in coronavirus disease 2019 patients are currently being discussed, the use of isoflurane in patients with coronavirus disease 2019-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome has not yet been reported. To facilitate ventilator synchrony and prone positioning during critical care treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, deeper sedation levels are often indispensable. Several studies have demonstrated the safe use of volatile anesthetics in critically ill patients, leading to a decreased duration of mechanical ventilation when treating classical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) . We included five patients admitted to the ICU who were previously diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection or who tested positive for COVID-19 during treatment. ./cache/cord-345028-56hg62be.txt ./txt/cord-345028-56hg62be.txt
