On behalf of Dr. Constance LeBlanc, Associate Dean of CPDME at Dalhousie University, we invite you to view the video below prior to going to work in the ED:

"Patients who are infected with COVID-19 and require intubation require a different approach. Airway procedures aerosolize virus placing everyone in the room at greater risk. Watch this video prior to going to work if you EVER intubate patients. In addition to these precautions airway intervention PPE is required prior to entering the room and must not be rushed."

Please read the preamble before jumping to the video.
