ABSTRACT
Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF) is a major complication of COVID-19 pneumonia and parasternal intercostal muscle thickening may be used as a biomarker to assess inspiratory effort. We report the case of a high utilization of parasternal intercostal muscle prior to the introduction of invasive ventilation in a 66-year old male none vaccinated COVID -19 patient admitted in hospital because of AHRF.
