Abstract
Summary: Prolonged high-flow nasal oxygenation (HFNO), or non-invasive ventilation (NIV), or endotracheal intubation with prone ventilation in COVID-19 patients may result in pressure sores or ulcers at points on sustained pressure at patient-equipment interphase. Expert nursing care and following the relevant guidelines can prevent the development of such injuries.
