Section 3.5.2.2: The way of respiratory support
Non-invasive ventilation is only considered for patients who can tolerate. For the patients requiring invasive ventilation, endotracheal intubation should be performed by experienced physician with personal protective equipment.
We recommend protective ventilation strategy for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). For those patients with most severe ARDS, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation or prone position is recommended. Interventions should be implemented to prevent complications associated with critical illness. Standard precautions should always be routinely applied in all areas of healthcare facilities.
