Perform early intubation if poor response to continuous positive airway pressure in terms of oxygenation: do not trust patients' relatively good respiratory mechanics and feeling of improved dyspnoea, since these patients may have relatively normal lung compliance and the only clinical sign of fatigue may be high respiratory rate. As soon as possible according to gas exchanges (PaO 2 /FiO 2 > 150 with FiO2 < 50%) and lung ultrasound score (≤ 12), start assisted ventilation with a sigh while maintaining moderate to high positive end-expiratory pressure to prevent derecruitment.
