Barotrauma cases had longer illness duration prior to critical care admission (10 vs 7 d; interquartile range, 8–14 and 6–10, respectively; p = 0.073) and were more often treated with continuous positive airway pressure or noninvasive ventilation as the initial modality of advanced respiratory support (87.5% vs 36.0%; p = 0.007). Subcutaneous emphysema, pneumomediastinum, and pneumothorax-herein collectively termed "barotrauma" (referring to the manifestation, rather than etiologic mechanism, of airway tract damage and resultant extra-alveolar air)-are known complications of all forms of positive pressure respiratory support and are associated with multiple organ failure and death (6) .	./cache/cord-257781-ybpliz32.txt	./txt/cord-257781-ybpliz32.txt
