summary:
  We would join Drs Rah and Platovsky 1 in arguing that endoscopy is especially high risk for several reasons: (1) upper and lower endoscopies are aerosolgenerating procedures (AGPs) 2 ; (2) these procedures involve bodily fluids that are known to carry the virus 3,4 ; (3) the procedure requires the gastroenterologist, technologist, and, at times, anesthesia provider to stand in close proximity to the site of aerosolization, 5 and, in the case of upper endoscopy, this places all 3 providers well within the 2-m zone for aerosolization; (4) many therapeutic procedures last ≥2 hours, with COVID-19 well-documented in upper airway secretions and feces 3, 4 ; and (5) increased infectious risk to faculty and staff in the GI suite due to the higher case volumes and prolonged AGPs in these areas. Furthermore, as highly sensitive diagnostic tests (RT-PCR) for COVID-19 become widely available for routine use, we urge institutions to be cognizant of the risks associated with GI procedures and endeavor to institute testing of asymptomatic patients in these areas.

Outside of cardiac procedures, postoperative ventilation was relatively uncommon, indicating that limiting elective procedures is primarily beneficial in maximizing ICU capacity rather than freeing up ventilators.

Our L&D operating room preparation process drew from the perioperative COVID-19 pathways under development for the general operating rooms at our institution by the Division of Quality, Safety, and Innovation of the Anesthesia Department, and in consultation with Infection Control. Preparation for operative procedures in patients with COVID-19 included dividing isolation space for infected patients into distinct work zones (clean area, transition anteroom, and contaminated procedure room) that minimized the risk of contamination.

  39 Science to guide N95 FFR decontamination is scarce due to longstanding government and manufacturer recommendations for disposal following single use. Steris (Mentor, OH) developed a customized autoclave cycle for N95 FFR decontamination that limits heat to 65 ± 5 °C × 30 minutes at 50%-80% RH held at 533 mm Hg pressure.

summary:
  The importance of COVID-19 extubation should be emphasized to minimize the potential virus infection during a surgery. After preoxygenation, the laryngoscopist should perform a rapid sequence induction and intubation following COVID-19 perioperative management recommendations for the local institution.

  The COVID-19 Pandemic Highlights Shortcomings in US Health Care Informatics Infrastructure: A Call to Action

summary:
  Specifically in the United States, although efforts have been made to secure the interoperability of health care data, countervailing forces have undermined these efforts for myriad reasons. Integration of health care data with nonhealthcare source data is currently an impossibility in the United States due to lack of a universal health care identifier.

summary:
  Unfortunately, however, this long-standing workaround is fraught with challenges in appropriate recruitment of participants in that patients attending PACs are likely to be sicker and thus ineligible for study inclusion than those fitter patients who do not attend PAC 15 and are more likely eligible for regional anesthesia clinical research. Yet, our current understanding of patients' ability to provide same-day consent, 16, 17 the lack of evidence of perceived or actual coercion, the perceived value of the fiduciary relationship with the physician performing the procedure, [16] [17] [18] and its low-risk nature would seem to mandate a reconsideration of the absolute prohibition on obtaining same-day consent for regional anesthesia clinical research instead of seeking to create more workaround solutions which may be more disruptive to patients and generate more patient anxiety.

  Provider Burnout and Fatigue During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned From a High-Volume Intensive Care Unit

summary:
  While business is booming in health care, all indicators point to a likely sustained overall economic downturn. • The national and regional disaster mitigation plans for future epidemics have to incorporate mechanisms to allow rapid and agile transformation of relevant industry to support massively increased demand for disinfectants, cleaning supplies, PPE, and other medical equipment for health care and community use.

summary:
  This will further reduce resources available for health care, not just in managing COVID-19 patients, but also for those with many other major medical conditions. As the global COVID-19 situation unfolds and countries are forced to take unprecedented drastic measure, including border closures, travel bans, and social distancing, we will likely witness the devastating and profound impact of this pandemic not only in health care but also on the world economy.
