     summary: This report highlights the importance of psychological well-being of health care workers involved during the COVID-19 tsunami. To overcome the mental stress, the government should provide social securities and incentives to health care workers, and moral support to reassure how important we are to the country and the sacrifices we are doing at this crisis.

     summary: We are concerned that potential key information about patients with difficult airways can be missed. The presence of this bracelet on a patient prompts a review of the electronic intubation notes before undertaking any procedure where the airway could be at risk, and appropriate measures to be put in place-for example, a senior anesthetist with the relevant equipment present when airway alert patients are proned or deproned.

     summary: We therefore evaluated intensive care unit (ICU) utilization and mechanical ventilation following common elective surgical procedures to (1) determine which procedures are the least resource intensive and (2) which patient populations are less likely to require postoperative ICU admission or ventilation. 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.

     summary: In principle, the clinical characteristics reported in pregnant women with confirmed COVID-19 infection in China have been consistent with those reported among nonpregnant adults, with better maternal and neonatal outcomes with COVID-19 infection compared with the 2002-2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak from SARS CoV 1 infection. It is imperative to establish a back-up team to care for patients without COVID-19 infection due to the time-intensive tasks of donning/doffing PPE, transporting the patient, providing anesthetic care, and performing surgery in patients with active COVID-19 infection.

     summary: Before performing a neuraxial procedure in these patients, it would be advisable to review a recent platelet count given that one-third of patients with COVID-19 infection have been reported to have thrombocytopenia compared with 7%-12% of patients during pregnancy alone. Because anesthesiologists must take into account the risk of meningitis or encephalitis associated with neuraxial procedures in the setting of untreated viremia, we reviewed publications reporting outcomes in COVID-19-positive pregnant women in the current pandemic in an attempt to address this concern.

     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: 3,6-8 Thus, reduced amounts of HLA-DR can also place COVID-19 patients at high risk of secondary and severe bacterial nosocomial infections. This observation is consistent with a clinical report of secondary bacterial infections and end-organ injury among COVID-19 patients requiring ICU care.

     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: 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.

     summary: Debriefings following neuraxial labor analgesia procedures with COVID-19 patients were performed with the director of obstetric anesthesia and frontline clinicians. 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.

      flesch: 28
     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.
