Practical strategies to reduce nosocomial transmission to healthcare professionals providing respiratory care to patients with COVID-19.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Due to resource limitations, few critical care interventions have been rigorously evaluated with adequately powered randomized clinical trials (RCTs). There is a need to improve the efficiency of RCTs in critical care so that more definitive high quality RCTs can be completed with the available resources. ...
