Abstract

Introduction: During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became necessary to use strategies in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory failure. Objective: To evaluate the use of non-invasive strategies in the outcome of patients with acute or chronic respiratory failure exacerbated by COVID-19. Methods: Observational and retrospective research through the collection of data from electronic medical records with patients submitted to the use of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) and/or non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIV). Results: 81 patients, 70.4% (57) were male, aged 56.5 ± 14.6 years. 49.4% (40) of the individuals used CNAF and NIV, 9.9% (8) and 40.7% (33) only NIV or HFNC, respectively. The mean time of HFNC use was 4.4 ± 3.7 days and NIV was 2.7 ± 3.4 days. 53.1% (43) of the patients surveyed evolved to orotracheal intubation (OTI) and 40 (49.4%) died. Of these 22 were undergoing OTI. There was a statistical difference when comparing age between OTI and non-OTI groups, 60.5 ± 13.9 years vs 52.1 ± 14.2 years (p = 0.012), respectively. Conclusion: The use of NIV and/or HFNC can be considered as an alternative in the treatment of patients with COVID-19. However, several intrinsic and extrinsic factors to the patient still contribute to the high rate of OTI and mortality.
