Abstract :
The world has experienced a pandemic due to novel Severe Acute Respiratory
Disease Corona Virus-2 (SARS-CoV2) since December 2019. The clinical
spectrum of the disease known as Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is
so much wide, starting from an asymptomatic state to paucisymptomatic
clinical presentation, pneumonia, respiratory failure to even death.
Supplemental oxygen therapy is essential in managing COVID-19. Also, there
is sparse evidence regarding use of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in
pandemics like SARS-CoV-2. This study reviews the currently available
methods for respiratory support in COVID-19 with a discussion about using
these modalieties in the COVID-19 pandemic.
