cord-309194-jtouafgd	Lu, Xiao	Lung ultrasound score in establishing the timing of intubation in COVID-19 interstitial pneumonia: A preliminary retrospective observational study	2020-09-03		.txt	text/plain	3668	191	46	PURPOSE: To investigate the role of lung ultrasound score (LUS) in assessing intubation timing for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia. Lung ultrasound was performed on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 after patients were admitted to the ICU; if the patient was intubated, LUS determination was performed before intubation within 24 h (T1) and on days 1, 2, 5, and 7 after intubation (T2, T3, T4, and T5, respectively).The goal of this study was to evaluate the severity of lung aeration loss in intubated and non-intubated patients with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia by ultrasound at different time points within one week. Few studies have addressed the timing of intubation for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumonia due to the high mortality of patients treated with invasive ventilation. The patient's gender, age, body mass index (BMI index), sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA score), and 28-day mortality rate were recorded; and the evolution of respiratory parameters between the two groups on time point T1 (lung ultrasound performed before intubation within 24 h) were also recorded.	./cache/cord-309194-jtouafgd.txt	./txt/cord-309194-jtouafgd.txt
