Overview

The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit. A Multicenter Observational Study.

As of 23 March 2020, a cumulative total of 332,930 confirmed cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) were reported in 189 countries and territories worldwide. As of this time, there had been 367 total confirmed cases of COVID-19, including four deaths in Mexico. The clinical manifestations of patients with COVID-19 are wide, asymptomatic infection, mild upper respiratory tract illness, and approximately 5% of critically ill patients with COVID-19 have presented rapidly progressive respiratory failure, development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. On March 24, 2020, the Secretary of Health of Mexico, formally declared the beginning of phase 2. It has been estimated that many confirmed cases of COVID-19 would occur, thus would result in a significant increase of hospital and ICU admissions.
