ABSTRACT

The spread of coronavirus 2 and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) has already taken on pandemic proportions, affecting more than 100 countries in a matter of weeks. A global response is essential to prepare health systems worldwide. Although containment measures in China have reduced new cases by more than 90%, this reduction is not the case elsewhere. In some cases, an aggressive approach was chosen with patients who are seriously ill with severe acute respiratory syndrome, which warranted advanced management of the airway and ventilatory support. The World Health Organization’s COVID-19 clinical guidelines suggest that advanced airway management should be performed by an experienced provider, as the patient’s oxygen reserve is very poor, especially for those who are seriously ill. This makes endotracheal intubation a great challenge.
