Noninvasive ventilation for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19	2020-10-01		.txt	text/plain	1728	107	53	MATERIALS & METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, patients with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and AHRF receiving NIV in general wards were recruited from two university-affiliated hospitals. However, there were major concerns that HFNC or NIV may create risks for health care workers (HCWs) because of SARS-CoV-2 transmission via aerosols [6] while the data on the efficacy of noninvasive modalities in COVID-19-associated AHRF are still limited [6] [7] [8] . This study suggests that the use of NIV is feasible in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in patients with COVID-19 outside intensive care unit and can be considered as an effective means to improve oxygenation in patients not responding to conventional oxygen therapy. In summary, we have shown that NIV is feasible in patients with COVID-19 with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure outside the intensive care unit, and it can be considered as a valuable option for the management of AHRF in these patients.	./cache/cord-330704-4piesfxu.txt	./txt/cord-330704-4piesfxu.txt
