Trajectory for individual patients included in the case series. Days are presented at the X-axis where day 0 is the start of ICU admission. Patient cases are presented on the Y-axis. The bar charts are color coded and pink represents no HFNO or mechanical ventilation, pale orange represents HFNO, red represents mechanical ventilation, orange represents ICU stay after mechanical ventilation cessation, yellow represents hospital stay after ICU discharge, and dark red represents ICU readmission. Open circles, delivery not during mechanical ventilation; closed circles, delivery during mechanical ventilation; asterisk, initiation of prone positioning. Case no. 3, 5, 7, 10, 11, 20, 25 and 26 delivered before ICU admission. Case no. 2, 6, 14, 15, 16 and 22 delivered during ICU admission. Case no. 1, 4, 8, 9, 13, 17, 18, 19, 21 delivered after ICU admission. Case no. 24: still pregnant at database closure. Two cases were excluded: case 12 because she delivered vaginally and was admitted to our ICU more than 1 week later after falling ill with COVID-19; case 23 was transferred to our ICU 4 weeks after the first admission to an ICU elsewhere, and she was extubated and discharged within 24 h after transfer to our ICU
