Description:
Main objective: To evaluate if HBO reduce the number of ICU admissions compared to Best practice for COVID-19
Secondary objectives:
Main secondary objectives:
To evaluate if HBO:
– reduces mortality in severe cases of COVID-19.
– reduces morbidity associated with COVID-19.
– reduce the load on ICU resources in COVID-19.
– mitigate the inflammatory reaction in COVID-19.
Other secondary objectives (in selection):
To evaluate if HBO is safe for SARS-CoV-2 positive patients and staff.
