Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is a technique for breathing support that significantly improves gas exchange and vital signs, reducing intubation and mortality rates. Helmets, unlike facemasks, allow for longer-term treatment and better ventilation, also being more cost-effective. As of today, we have found no reviews addressing this topic. This review aims to identify, map, and describe the characteristics of the use of noninvasive ventilation through helmet interface in critically ill COVID-19 adult patients hospitalized in acute care settings throughout the multiple moments that defined the COVID-19 pandemic. This scoping review will follow the methodology for scoping reviews proposed by JBI. A set of relevant electronic databases will be searched using terms such as COVID-19, helmet, and noninvasive ventilation. Two reviewers will independently perform the study selection regarding their eligibility. Data extraction will be accomplished using a researcher's developed tool considering the review questions. Findings will be presented in tables and a narrative description that aligns with the review's objective. This scoping review will consider any quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods studies and systematic review designs for inclusion, focusing on the use of helmet on critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 hospitalized in acute care settings.
无创通气（NIV）是一种呼吸支持技术，可显著改善气体交换和生命体征，降低插管率和死亡率。与面罩不同，头盔式通气允许进行更长期的治疗，通气效果更好，且成本效益更高。截至目前，我们尚未发现有针对该主题的综述。本综述旨在识别、梳理并描述在整个新冠疫情期间，于急性护理环境中住院的成年危重症新冠患者使用头盔式无创通气的特征。本范围综述将遵循循证卫生保健国际合作中心（JBI）提出的范围综述方法。将使用“COVID-19”“头盔”和“无创通气”等术语搜索一系列相关电子数据库。两名评审员将独立进行纳入资格的研究筛选。将使用研究者根据综述问题开发的工具完成数据提取。研究结果将以表格形式呈现，并配以与综述目标相符的叙述性描述。本范围综述将纳入任何定量、定性、混合方法研究以及系统综述设计，重点关注在急性护理环境中住院的成年危重症新冠患者使用头盔式通气的情况。
