The role of helmet-delivered noninvasive pressure support ventilation in COVID-19 patients 2020-05-08 .txt text/plain 3072 213 49 5 The aim of this stand-alone editorial is to examine the role of helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) noninvasive ventilation (NIV) as an adjunct to mechanical ventilation in patients requiring respiratory support in COVID-19. The recent Surviving Sepsis Campaign: Guidelines on the Management of Critically Ill Adults with Coronavirus Disease 2019 consensus statement agrees that; following admission for COVID-19, each patient may progress at a variable rate to either recovery, with minimal oxygen requirements and no ventilatory support, or a worsening of the disease process and the need for an escalation in NIV and mechanical ventilation. 11 The usual features of typical ARDS, recently termed the H-type, in COVID-19 patients are a progressive deteriorating lung compliance requiring increased inspired oxygen concentration(FiO 2 ), high positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), prone ventilation, sedation with paralysis and inotropic support. ./cache/cord-276238-2hv46ftk.txt ./txt/cord-276238-2hv46ftk.txt
