[quote=Anonymous]I'm a PP who was a real crabbucket -- I'm sorry. Time for me to step back. But I thought about this link for OP: http://www.fammed.usouthal.edu/Pulmonology/Self-StudyAids/Mechanical%20Ventilation/MechanicalVentilationCaseQuestions&Answers.pdf This may or may not be helpful. There is a discussion of when to use invasive vs. non-invasive ventilation at the bottom of the page 1. (for Family Medicine training) PP is right that CPAP and BIPAP aerosolize the virus, but it's also true that most COVID-18 patients are too ill and worsening too fast for that to provide sufficient support anyway.
