RCT: CPAP improved outcomes in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure due to COVID-19, but high-flow nasal oxygen was not better than conventional oxygen therapy.

RCT: In patients with severe Covid-19, high-flow oxygen therapy reduced the likelihood of invasive mechanical ventilation and decreased the time to clinical recovery compared to conventional oxygen therapy.
