What an intensivist has to tell to an anesthesiologist. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2020, vol.43, n.2, pp.130-135.  Epub Oct 04, 2021. ISSN 0484-7903.  https://doi.org/10.35366/92871.

The objective of these recommendations is that they are within the reach of any anesthesiologist, in order to carry out protective ventilation in the patient during the COVID-19 pandemic, in which a patient with unique characteristics is confronted, with difficult ventilatory management in a setting crisis of scarcity of resources, lack and fatigue of health personnel. We do not recommend using these guides in a different setting.
