Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients diagnosed with cancer (at any stage); Hemodynamic instability (need for vasopressors); Pregnant women; Immunocompromised patients; Exclusive Palliative Care; Inclusion in any other interventionist study; Heart failure as a predominant cause of acute respiratory failure; decompensated liver cirrhosis; HIV +; Dialysis; Home / long-term oxygen therapy; Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome: the primary outcome of the study will be the supplemental oxygen-free days (SOFDs) at 28 days., defined as SOFDs = 28 - x, where x = number of days on which the patient is released from supplemental oxygen therapy after start. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect a reduction of the time necessary for the recovery and/or in the length of hospital stay. ;We expect a reduction in mechanical ventilation (number of days free from mechanical ventilation - invasive or not) ;A increase of the days free from ICU is expected., ;WE expect a general improvement of the clinical/laboratorial state ( reduction of secondary infections, of the need of vasopressors, or incidence of deep vein thrombosis, and improvement of the changes in inflammatory and thrombotics markers (CRP, D-dimer, Troponin, chemokine). ;Evaluation of possible changes in circulating Ang II and Ang-(1-7) using Mass spectrometry;We expect a reduction of the changes in radiological findings (computed tomography and chest radiography ) as well as the incidence of findings compatible with late pulmonary fibrosis. | — |
