'Do-not-intubate' orders in patients assisted by noninvasive respiratory support for acute hypoxaemic failure caused by coronavirus disease 2019; a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Noninvasive respiratory support (NIRS) has been revealed feasible solutions to cope with the massive request for ventilatory support in patients subjected to 'do-not-intubate' order (DNI).

Objectives

The aims of the present systematic review and meta-analysis was to estimate pooled incidence of DNI orders and the associated in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing NIRS for hypoxaemic acute respiratory failure (ARF) related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Design

Systematic review of observational studies and randomized-controlled trials with meta-analyses.

Data sources

PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane Controlled Clinical trials register were searched for observational studies and randomised-controlled trials from inception to the end of April
