COVID-19 infection may lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) where severe gas exchange derangements may be associated, at least in the early stages, only with minor pulmonary infiltrates. This may suggest that the shunt associated to the gasless lung parenchyma is not sufficient to explain CARDS hypoxemia. We designed an algorithm (VentriQlar), based on the same conceptual grounds described by J.B. West in 1969. We set 498 ventilation-perfusion (VA/Q) compartments and, after calculating their blood composition (PO2,
