ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed an unprecedented strain on healthcare systems and frontline workers worldwide.

We describe how the Vascular Access Service (VAS) at a New York City academic hospital adopted a team-based approach to efficiently meet increased demand for vascular access devices, while ensuring safety and conserving personal protective equipment.
