ABSTRACT
139 (29.1%) underwent delaying intubation with HFNC/NIV with a median time to intubation of 2.9 (IQR,0.78-6.16) days, longer compared with the non-intervention group, 0.42 (IQR, 0.11-2.0) days. Kaplan Meier analysis was conducted to determine survival rate and Cox Proportional Hazard regression to determine mortality risk associated with delaying intubation. B Introduction/Hypothesis: b We aimed to determine the mortality risk associated with delaying intubation with High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) and Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the setting of critical COVID-19 pneumonia patients that required mechanical ventilation.
