Patients included in this study must satisfy ALL of the following criteria:
•Proven or highly suspected COVID-19 through a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test of a nasal swab; or a negative PCR test with typical radiological finding or CT scan in the absence of alternate diagnoses; or patients with respiratory failure of infective origin admitted to ICU during the COVID-19 pandemic
•Receiving supplemental oxygen, due to respiratory failure, with PaO2/FiO2 ratio less than or equal to 200 (moderate to severe) or an SaO2 < 92% while receiving more than or equal to 4 litres of O2 via face mask.
Patients will be excluded if they have ANY of the following:
•Less than 18 years old
•Have been intubated for more than 48 hours,
•Documented significant chronic obstructive airway disease
•Death is imminent and inevitable within 24 hours,
•Limitation of therapy includes no invasive mechanical ventilation,
•Severe global left ventricular dysfunction with an ejection fraction of <25%,
•Receiving extracorporeal support or is highly likely within the next 12 hours,
•Acute fulminant hepatitis
