Abstract
Introduction: the Coronavirus disease 19 pandemic has resulted in rapid upsurge in critically ill patients diagnosed with severe acute respiratory syndrome Coronavirus 2, requiring emergency tracheal intubation.
Continuous positive airway pressure – CPAP face mask ventilation is a first option in these patients if
they don’t need mechanical ventilation.
Tracheal intubation in the COVID-19 patients who are overweight and morbidly obese, comes with a
higher risk for mortality and intubation failure compared to those with normal BMI. The first–pass
success rate of tracheal intubation in the critically ill patients is often less than 80%, with up to 20%
of the tracheal intubation taking more than two attempts.
