With the dramatic increase of confirmed cases of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the increasing death toll in China, timely and effective management of severely and critically ill patients appears to be particularly important. Previous studies on COVID-19 mainly described the general features of patients (1). However, little attention has been paid to clinical characteristics and outcomes of intensive care patients, data on whom are scarce but are of paramount importance to reduce mortality. Some of the results of these studies have been previously reported in the form of an abstract (2).
