Implication

Clinical evaluation demonstrates favorable outcomes from noninvasive respiratory support outside intensive care in COVID-19 pneumonia, highlighting an increased risk of healthcare staff infection.

Key Points

To evaluate the feasibility, clinical outcomes, and transmission risks associated with administering noninvasive respiratory support outside the intensive care unit in patients with COVID-19-related pneumonia.
Assessed the delivery and feasibility of noninvasive respiratory support (NRS) deployed in general hospital wards rather than an ICU setting for COVID-19 pneumonia.
Tracked patient clinical outcomes and evaluated the occurrence of infection among attending healthcare personnel.
Noninvasive respiratory support implemented outside the ICU was feasible and associated with favorable clinical recovery outcomes in treated patients.
Delivery of out-of-ICU respiratory assistance was associated with a documented risk of viral contamination among healthcare staff.
