Management of hypoxemia in patients with severe COVID-19 respiratory failure is based on the guideline recommendations for specific SpO 2 targets. However, limited data exist on systemic O 2 utilization. The objective of this study was to examine systemic O 2 utilization in a case series of patients with this disease.
