INTRODUCTION: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequent in critically ill COVID-19 patients and is associated with a higher mortality risk. By increasing intrathoracic pressure, positive pressure ventilation (PPV) may reduce renal perfusion pressure by reducing venous return to the heart or by increasing renal venous congestion. This study's aim was to evaluate the association between AKI and hemodynamic and ventilatory parameters in COVID-19 patients with ARDS. METHODS: this is a single-centre retrospective observational study...
