Official Title
Main Features and Ventilatory Management of Patients With ARDS Caused by COVID-19
Brief Summary

Patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) have markedly varied clinical presentations. Main characteristics of mechanically ventilated ARDS caused by COVID-19, and adherence to lung-protective ventilation strategies are not well known.

Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, prospective, observational study in consecutive, mechanically
ventilated patients with ARDS caused by COVID-19 (as defined by the Berlin criteria and
confirmed COVID-19 infection in a respiratory tract sample), admitted into a network of 27
Spanish and Andorran intensive care units (ICUs). Clinical features, ventilatory management,
and clinical outcomes will be examined
