SCCM Resource Library-COVID-19 Question and Answer Webcast Series

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, a panel of doctors discuss various aspects of COVID-19 treatment and management. They cover topics such as proning (having patients sleep on their belly), non-invasive ventilation, the use of steroids and convalescent plasma, and the challenges of expanding critical care bed capacity. The doctors also discuss the high coagulability seen in COVID-19 patients and the potential use of tracheostomies for those on prolonged mechanical ventilation. There is no conclusive data on many of these topics and the doctors acknowledge the need for more research. However, based on their experiences, they offer their insights and recommendations. Overall, the doctors emphasize the importance of a personalized approach to treatment and the need for further research to guide clinical decision-making.
