Abstract

Most patients with COVID-19 exhibit mild to moderate respiratory symptoms; however, some develop severe pneumonia and hypoxemia is a frequent cause of death. Severely ill COVID-19 patients often require endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation. The choice of drugs to sedate these patients differs widely depending on drug availability and clinical expertise. We suggest that care providers with the appropriate clinical expertise, consider the use of inhalational anesthetic drugs, such as sevoflurane and isoflurane for the following reasons.
