Abstract

COVID-19 patients are at risk of developing acute, life- threatening respiratory failure. Connecting patients to a ventilator and giving oxygen therapy is life-saving. Oxygen is a medication and thus has both beneficial and harmful effects. The project will provide information about the proper dosage of oxygen for the most critically ill COVID-19 patients and will thus improve prognosis.
