- Abstract
Keywords: COVID-19; high-flow oxygen therapy EN COVID-19 high-flow oxygen therapy 1192 1194 3 11/19/21 20211201 NES 211201 Health systems around the world have been severely compromised in recent months due to the health emergency caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Patients whose HFNC was initiated in the ICU ( I N i = 15) were analysed versus those whose HFNC was initiated in the conventional ward ( I N i = 54), with no significant differences in terms of survival or failure of high-flow therapy. This protocol established that patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia admitted to a conventional internal medicine hospital ward and receiving standard medical treatment who, despite the use of a 40%-50% venturi mask, did not obtain saturations of at least 92%, should be evaluated by their internist or pulmonologist and an intensivist.
