Project Objectives
To determine to what extent is the risk of nosocomial COVID-19 infection in healthcare workers, higher with high flow nasal oxygen (HFNO), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) when compared to invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) in healthcare workers caring for patients with severe or critical COVID-19 on supportive ventilation.
