Proposed Framework for Initial Ventilatory Strategy for the Care of Patients With COVID-19 Proposed framework for initial ventilatory strategy for the care of patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). As knowledge of the pulmonary pathophysiology of this syndrome evolves, ventilator management should be adapted to target our understanding of the underlying process. ABG = arterial blood gas; ARDS = acute respiratory distress syndrome; ARDSnet = ARDS Network; FiO2 = fraction of inspired air; HFNC = high-flow nasal cannula; IPAP = inspiratory positive airway pressure; NPPV = noninvasive positive pressure ventilation; PaO2 = partial pressure of oxygen in blood; PAPR = powered air-purifying respirator; PEEP = positive end-expiratory pressure; SpO2 = peripheral capillary oxygen saturation; VBG = venous blood gas; VT = tidal volume.
