Abstract

Introduction: COVID-19 is a disease in which mechanical ventilation acquires vital importance. It is estimated that 50 % of the serious and critical patients requiring management in intensive care units die.

Objectives: to assess the impact of the ventilation modes used in patients with COVID-19 in Lombardy, Italy, on oxygenation, hemodynamics and mortality.

Materials and methods: a retrospective, longitudinal, analytic study was carried out in 86 critical patients with COVID-19 who entered the Main Hospital of Crema, in Lombardy, Italy, from April 1st to May 20, 2020.

Results: the survival was 76.7 %. The used mode showed the same behavior in deceased patients (BiPAP-3, PCV-4, VCRP-4, APRV-5, VCV-4) and in alive patients (BiPAP-10, PCV-17, VCRP-14, APRV-15, VCV-10). X2 = 0.59. ANOVA test index PO2/FIO2 (PCV = 132), (BiPAP = 132) (VCV=115) p = 0.924. PEEP (BiPAP-12, PCV-13, VCRP-13, APRV-13, VCV-14) p = 0.205. PCO2 (BiPAP-55, PCV-52, VCRP-57, APRV-59, VCV-57) p = 0.512. Average blood pressure (BiPAP-84, PCV-83, VCRP-84, APRV-82, VCV-83) p = 0.988. PEEP models according to ventilation mode: BiPAP: PEEP = -0.0331 (PO2/FiO2 index) +18.215. PCV: PEEP = -0.0047 (PO2/FiO2 index) + 13.717; VCRP: PEEP = -0.0204 (PO2/FiO2 index) + 15.678; APRV: PEEP = -0.0092 (PO2/FiO2 index) +14.889.

Conclusion: the evolution of the critical patient with COVID-19 is determined mostly by the invasive mechanical ventilation; but we did not find evidence enough to recommend one or the other ventilation mode. The success stands in knowing accurately the characteristics of the ventilator, the ventilation modes and the patient.
