Summary

Mechanical ventilation is likely lifesaving in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) but may also result in adverse events. Only few studies describe the strategies used and adverse effect of mechanical ventilation in an unselected population of ICU patients with COVID-19. This study is designed to be a retrospective study focusing on all mechanical ventilated ICU patients with COVID-19 included in the national Danish COVID ICU database between 10.03.2020 - 02.04.2021 i.e. a total of 1,193 patients. The investigators will register the use of the core interventions around mechanical ventilation and its potential adverse event, including barotrauma and prolonged ventilation. This study will provide important data on the ventilation strategies used and its potential adverse events in unselected ICU patients with COVID-19 and thereby inform clinicians, patients, policy-makers, and future research in this area.
