METHODS: A single-centre retrospective cohort of consecutive adult patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur de Montréal with confirmed COVID-19 were included.

Critically ill patients with limitations of care excluding IMV had a high non-invasive ventilation failure rate (70%) and a high mortality rate (69%). Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation had a high failure rate (70%) when used in critically ill patients with limitations of care excluding IMV.
