ABSTRACT
A clinical account written by front-line providers, COVID-19 by Cases is the first comprehensive review text on COVID-19. As such, the inventive format features a case-based and systems-based review of observations, clinical knowledge, basic science, ethics, and personal experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. With each systems-based chapter encompassing a case report, literature review, and discussion, COVID-19 by Cases is intended for a broad audience, including clinical providers, clinical educators, and students. It also serves as a standalone account to preserve this unique time in human history. COVID-19 by Cases is a multi-institutional effort with input from hospitalists, outpatient physicians, specialists, residents, nurses, pharmacists, clinical educators, and students. © 2021 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the resuscitation of cardiac arrest and respiratory arrest had been a challenging effort. Being an already multifaceted process during regular scenarios, the pandemic made the choreography of resuscitation nearly impossible or, at the very least, fraught with peril. We describe a series of COVID-19 cases involving cardiac arrest from profound hypoxia, cardiac arrhythmias, and septic shock. This chapter will further discuss the historical evolution of resuscitation, unique safety challenges during the pandemic, outcomes, the increase of in-hospital and out-of-hospital arrests, and inadequacies in post-arrest care. © 2021 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
