Hemodynamic Characteristics of Mechanically Ventilated COVID-19 Patients: A Cohort Analysis.

Conclusions: In general, this cohort of patients with COVID-19 respiratory failure showed a marked rise in blood pressure over time, not accompanied by distinctive markers of circulatory failure. Characteristically, increased extravascular lung water, vascular permeability, and intrapulmonary shunt diminished over time, concomitant with an improvement in gas exchange. PMID: 33425387 [PubMed]
