Patients admitted for acute respiratory syndrome due to SARS-CoV-2 are severe and have a high mortality rate, mainly if submitted to invasive mechanical ventilation. The emergence of acute renal failure marks an especially severe subgroup with increased mortality. Processes and protocols linked to the "choosing-wisely" concept seemed to significantly benefit our intensive care unit since it had a large contingent of nonspecialist physicians.
