Observational analysis reveals increased mortality linked to endotracheal intubation in COVID-19 patients, suggesting targeted care for high-risk groups.
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes respiratory complications, which may lead to as severe hypoxemia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Increased in mortality in COVID-19 patients who were older than 65, patients with comorbidities, and patients who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) predisposed to the need for invasive procedures such as intubation as part of the bundle of management. Therefore, this study aimed to address the impact and mortality of endotracheal intubation on COVID-19 patients.
