“…The value of APP 39 alongside non-invasive ventilation 40 in reducing intubation is questionable, and our results uphold this. Some observational studies have reported decreased respiratory rate and excessive work of breathing amongst those awake proned resulting in a trend toward reduced intubation rate 9 , 14 , 17 , 18 . On the contrary, a prospective observational study found no benefit in reducing the risk of intubation but rather showed a trend for delay 20 .…”

“…Several observational studies support the use of APP to improve oxygenation for spontaneously breathing patients affected by respiratory failure 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 . Its effectiveness in reducing intubation rate and mortality remains unclear 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 as well as its tolerability 24 , 25 , timing and optimal duration 26 .…”

“…Four RCTs 6,20,22,23 were of moderate quality, and one RCT 17 was of high quality. Six observational studies 5,13,15,16,19,21 had a total score >6, indicating that they were of high quality. Three observational studies 14,18,24 scored 6, indicating that they were of moderate quality.…”

“…Awake self-proning has been described in small observational, mostly retrospective cohorts in non-COVID-19 [ 115 , 116 ] and COVID-19 [ 117 , 118 , 119 , 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 , 124 , 125 , 126 , 127 , 128 , 129 ] patients with acute hypoxemia. Turning the awake hypoxemic patient prone was feasible, safe [ 117 , 120 , 125 , 126 , 130 ] and in most cases improved oxygenation [ 117 , 119 , 120 , 125 , 126 , 128 , 129 ], with a mean PaO 2 /FiO 2 difference of 51.3 mmHg (95% CI 13.91–88.67) [ 131 ].…”

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure is the principal cause of hospitalization, invasive mechanical ventilation and death in severe COVID-19 infection. Nearly half of intubated patients with COVID-19 eventually die. High-Flow Nasal Oxygen (HFNO) and Noninvasive Ventilation (NIV) constitute valuable tools to avert endotracheal intubation in patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia who do not respond to conventional oxygen treatment. Sparing Intensive Care Unit beds and reducing intubation-related complications may save lives in the pandemic era. The main drawback of HFNO and/or NIV is intubation delay. Cautious selection of patients with severe hypoxemia due to COVID-19 disease, close monitoring and appropriate employment and titration of HFNO and/or NIV can increase the rate of success and eliminate the risk of intubation delay. At the same time, all precautions to protect the healthcare personnel from viral transmission should be taken. In this review, we summarize the evidence supporting the application of HFNO and NIV in severe COVID-19 hypoxemic respiratory failure, analyse the risks associated with their use and provide a path for their proper implementation.
