We believe that maintaining the same pro-active attitude suggested by current Guidelines might help in reducing morality and improving survival in SARS-COV-2/patients. SARS-CoV-2 infected patients usually experience fever, dry cough, fatigue and worsening dyspnoea with interstitial pneumonia that in up to 3-5% might unfortunately evolve in a severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) requiring endotracheal intubation (ETI) and mechanical ventilation. Due to the severe ARDS unresponsive to assisted non-invasive ventilation the patient underwent ETI and was transferred to an isolation ward of the intensive care unit (ICU); the infection of SARS-CoV-2 virus was confirmed thereafter by an RT-PCR assay of a nasal swab. We are now facing this unexpected severe SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, but maintaining the same proactive attitude suggested by current Guidelines or routine standard of care might help in reducing morality rate and improving survival also in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients.	./cache/cord-256075-fudeaq7y.txt	./txt/cord-256075-fudeaq7y.txt
