| Popis: | The experience of managing a critically ill severe carbon monoxide poisoning patient suspected of possibly also suffering COVID-19 and requiring emergency hyperbaric oxygen treatment is described. Strategies used to minimise infection risk, modifications to practice and lessons learnt are described. All aerosol generating procedures such as endotracheal tube manipulation and suctioning should be undertaken in a negative pressure room. In the absence of in-chamber aerosol generating procedures, an intubated patient presents less risk than that of a non-intubated, symptomatically coughing patient. Strict infection control practices, contact precautions, hospital workflows and teamwork are required for the successful HBOT administration to an intubated COVID-19 suspect patient. |
