FEATURES OF RESPIRATORY SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS WITH PNEUMONIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Introduction: The coronavirus infection (COVID-19) pandemic is at its peak. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the understanding of nosology has been growing every day. Although large randomized trials are underway, treatment is based on supportive care. Current recommendations are based on the treatment of other viral pneumonias and sepsis. But the course of COVID-19 is very different from them.
Aim – analysis of articles on respiratory support for coronavirus infection COVID-19 published in the most authoritative evidence-based sources.
Search strategy: the search was carried out in the following databases - PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, Embase. The initial number of articles - 325 (including duplicate articles - 188), titles and abstracts of articles - 137 were studied (including 63 articles were excluded for the following reasons - lack of a comparison group, inconsistency of goals and titles of articles). Fully studied articles - 74 (including 39 articles were excluded for the following reasons - the lack of randomization of patients, the presence of methodological errors). The number of articles included in the study is 35.
Results: the main task in the treatment of acute respiratory failure is adequate oxygenation, since hypoxia can lead to severe and irreparable functional disorders. In patients with COVID-19, oxygen therapy and respiratory support should begin prior to admission to intensive care. The most accessible in the treatment of acute respiratory failure is oxygen therapy.
Conclusions. The COVID-19 pandemic requires an expanded and comprehensive analysis of the risks and benefits of respiratory support, including NIV and mechanical ventilation. Respiratory support with modern options for oxygen therapy and NIV will require a careful assessment of the risks of infection of healthcare workers, nosocomial spread of infection, the availability of healthcare resources and the clinical spectrum of diseases in comorbid patients with COVID-19.
