A prospective, observational, cohort study of airway management of patients with COVID-19 by specialist tracheal intubation teams.
CONCLUSION: We have shown that a highly skilled designated intubation team, following a protocolized, early tracheal intubation model may be beneficial in improving patient and staff safety, and could be considered by other institutions in future pandemic surges.
