The main objective of this pilot trial is to evaluate the effect of metoprolol on biological correlates of benefit of this therapy (inflammatory markers in blood and bronchoalveolar mini-lavage, mini-BAL). In addition, it will study cardiopulmonary hemodynamics to assess the impact of metoprolol administration in the context of respiratory distress in COVID-19

Inflammatory markers in BAL (neutrophil activation and NETs production) 2. Inflammatory markers in blood (neutrophil activation and NETs production) 3.
