Procedures for COVID-19 Cohort Units: Building an Operating Room in a COVID-19 Cohort ICU

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Patricia Luzon and Joshua Goldberg discuss how they built an operating room within a COVID-19 cohort ICU to perform procedures on critically ill patients. The ICU was converted from a surgical ICU to a COVID-19 ICU, and as the number of patients increased, they recognized the need for procedures like tracheostomy and bronchoscopy. They decided to create a mini operating room within the ICU to minimize patient transport and exposure to healthcare workers. They assembled a multidisciplinary team to plan and execute the project, and they discuss the equipment, personal protective measures, medication management, and post-procedure patient care involved in their solution.
