AnaConDa-therapy in COVID-19 Patients

Abstract

COVID 19-pneumonia may evolve into respiratory insufficiency for which invasive mechanical ventilation is required. Recently, inhaled anesthetics have become available for sedation of critically ill patients. Based upon recent research, these anesthetics may provide advantages in improvement of P/F ratio in ARDS patients. However, up to now, its effects on COVID-19 pneumonia patients is unknown; therefore, this study was designed as a plan to investigate whether the use of inhaled sevoflurane leads to improvement of oxygenation compared to intravenous sedatives in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients
