Abstract

The new coronavirus disease COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is a challenge both in terms of optimal patient management and the protection of the medical personnel. We present a clinical case of a 49-year-old patient with bilateral polysegmental pneumonia (COVID-19), complicated by acute respiratory distress syndrome and a cytokine storm, in whom the chosen treatment tactics using non-invasive ventilation allowed avoidance of intubation together with organization of sufficient protection for medical personnel.
