Flow chart of data collection. “Lifesaving endotracheal intubation” (J044) does not include intubation associated with surgical anesthesia. “Artificial ventilation” (J045) includes invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in acute respiratory failure with PaO2/FiO2 ≤ 300 mmHg or PaCO2 ≥ 45 mmHg. PaO2: partial pressure of oxygen; PaCO2: partial pressure of carbon dioxide; FiO2: fraction of inspired oxygen
