a
Preimplementation period included March 15, 2020, to April 2, 2020.
b
Postimplementation period included April 3, 2020, to April 15, 2020.
c
Calculated with use of one-sided Fisher exact test.
d
Some patients received a combination of NCRP interventions, so totals will not add up to the “Received any NCRP intervention” row.
Abbreviations: DNR/DNI, do not resuscitate/do not intubate; HFNC, high-flow nasal canula; NIV, noninvasive ventilation (continuous or bilevel positive airway pressure); NCRP, noninvasive COVID-19 respiratory protocol.
