Abstract: Background:It is estimated that 20% of patients diagnosed with COVID-19 develop the severe form of the disease and may acquire acute respiratory distress syndrome, the most severe complication. From this, the patient ends up manifesting an acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and about 42 to 100% of these patients need respiratory assistance. The use of ventilators promotes better gas exchange performance and reduces the work of breathing, which can be non-invasive, through an external interface such as a face mask, or invasive, through intubation or tracheostomy, and only one in three patients with the new coronavirus who were admitted to these structures and intubated were actually able to recover and return home.
