Abstract

Review of: "The use of oxygen hoods in patients failing on conventional high-flow oxygen delivery systems, the effects on oxygenation, mechanical ventilation and mortality rates in hypoxic patients with COVID-19. A Prospective Controlled Cohort Study"

Highlights

I think that the appropriate term to describe the study design is “a before-after cohort study” more than “a prospective controlled cohort study”; the availability of hoods on 4/3/2020 in the institution was here determinant
