The aim of the study is to compare two methods of oxygen therapy in patients with acuterespiratory distress syndrome in the course of SARS-CoV2 pneumonia. The initial method ofoxygen supply during coronavirus pneumonia is conventional oxygen therapy using a facemask or nasal cannula. However, there have been reports in the literature that earlyinitiation of high-flow oxygen therapy with a nasal cannula is associated with betterprognosis. The study we perform is intended to provide reliable evidence for confirmationthis hypothesis.
