Special Considerations for Intubating COVID Patients

When intubating COVID positive patients, it is important to understand your institution's process and necessary equipment. Consider using a HEPA filter to minimize aerosol generation, and using video laryngoscopy due to the challenges posed by the plastic sheets covering the patient's head and chest. Experience and following a checklist can increase success rates, especially in time-sensitive situations. Ensuring proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and limiting the number of personnel in the room are critical. Different institutions may have different approaches to intubating COVID patients, and effective communication between the inside and outside teams is crucial.
