Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study of mechanically ventilated and confirmed non-hyperdynamic SARS-CoV-2 patients, we studied the relation between the occurrence of kidney injury and the decreased ratio of support to controlled ventilation. RESULTS: Total AKI incidence in this cohort was low (5/41). In total, 16 of 41 patients underwent patient-triggered pressure support breathing at least 80% of the time. In this group we observed a lower percentage of AKI (0/16 vs. 5/25), determined as a creatinine level above 177 µmol/L in the first 200 h. There was a negative correlation between time spent on support ventilation and peak creatinine levels (r = -0.35 (-0.6-0.1)). The group predominantly on control ventilation showed significantly higher disease severity scores. CONCLUSIONS:
