    Researchers, patients, family members, health care staff and website developers have come together to create this website.

    This guidance, from the Intensive Care Society, states that prone positioning is a simple intervention that can be done in most circumstances, is compatible with all forms of basic respiratory support and requires little or no equipment in the conscious patient. Given its potential for improving oxygenation in COVID-19 patients the authors advocate that a trial of conscious prone positioning be performed on all suitable patients on the ward. This guidance includes a flow diagram to identify when it may be beneficial to trial conscious proning.

    This resource has been developed by a group of multi-disciplinary health professionals at Lancashire Teaching Hospitals. The purpose of the website is to support patients with their initial recovery once discharged from hospital following treatment for COVID-19. It is hoped that the information and advice provided will assist patients and their families starting their rehabilitation journey. Although hospital admission is referred to throughout this resource, it can also be used for patients who remain in their own homes and we hope that the information and advice provided will assist all patients and their families starting their rehabilitation journey following COVID-19.

    This blog from the European Respiratory Society, discusses a joint statement that was signed by individuals working on behalf of the Italian Thoracic Society (ITS - AIPO), Association for the Rehabilitation of Respiratory Failure (ARIR) and the Italian Respiratory Society (SIP/IRS). They conclude that the dramatic spread of the current COVID-19 epidemic in Italy has spurred into action also respiratory rehabilitation specialists (pulmonologists and respiratory therapists), who have been engaged for years in the care of patients with disabilities secondary to respiratory diseases and/or conditions. Their experience acquired in the management of chronic and acute respiratory failure is proving to be a fundamental asset for the management of patients during COVID-19 epidemic. Hence, it is likely that the reorganisation involved in taking care of this scenario will not be a short-term matter.

    This clinical guidance from the NHS provides information on the care of critically ill adult patients with COVID-19 to practising clinicians at the bedside. The COVID-19 pandemic is placing an extraordinary burden on critical care, which is being met through the creation of surge capacity within and beyond hospital walls. A large number of non-specialist healthcare providers will be supporting critical care specialists to provide care. Staff safety and wellbeing will be crucial in maintaining the resilience of critical care provision. This guide summarises the clinical characteristics of COVID-19 and offers advice on: • antibiotics and corticosteroids • treatment of other conditions in the context of COVID-19. • clinical decision-making when resources may be constrained • management of respiratory failure • management of other organ failure. • continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and non-invasive ventilation (NIV) • early intubation – indications and role.

    Handing over a patient to a team in critical care needs to be clear, concise and safe. Quite often there are distractions from staff moving the patient, attaching monitoring, starting the ventilator, asking questions and general background noise. This can lead to important information being missed, not understood or misinterpreted which could lead to patient harm.

    "We talk about coronavirus all the time, but it’s often in terms of a bigger picture. I find it hard to make sense of that bigger picture from the frontline. In a crisis of scale I want to tell the story I’ve seen – the story of a pandemic unfolding one person at a time." A blog published in the Guardian by Shaan Sahota, a junior doctor working in London.

    Since the severity of disease is closely related to the prognosis, the basic and essential strategies to improve outcomes that we should adhere to remain the early detection of high-risk and critically ill patients  This retrospective analysis of casein Jiangsu Province proved a good consistency between early screening of SpO2, RR, HR and early warning model. Therefore, a flowchart integrating early warning model and early screening procedure is recommended for high risk patients recognition and all patients’ screening to make it possible for early intervention. This article includes flow charts for: early recognition of high-risk and critically ill patients management of critically ill patients.

    CARDMEDIC was inspired by a news article on a patient surviving COVID-19 after an admission to a UK Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where he described feeling terrified of not being able to understand what his healthcare providers were saying, due to the limitations of communicating through Personal Protective Equipment (face masks, visors, hoods etc). CARDMEDIC is a collection of communication flashcards designed to break through the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) barrier, improving transfer of vital information from frontline healthcare professionals to unwell and critically ill patients. They are also used as an upskilling training tool, for example by healthcare professionals and volunteers working outside their usual realms of practice. They are simple and succinct, using basic language to share information and describe the plan of action. Set out in alphabetical order, it should be easy to find what you’re looking for.   You may wish to use the “HELLO MY NAME IS…” card at the start of every patient interaction to introduce yourself and set the scene for using the flashcards. The flashcards can be used in electronic format on either the patient’s or hospital’s phone / tablet / smart device, or printed, laminated, annotated and re-used – write on, wipe off.  CARDMEDIC are continually expanding their database, so please get in touch with suggestions or comments, as well as ideas for further flashcards.

    This film, produced by Hearts in Healthcare, shows Kathy talking about her experience of being in an Intensive Care Unit following a serious accident. Kathy talks about the importance of communicating to patients, even when they are unable to respond, and recalls one particular nurse who made a huge difference to her recovery. An incredibly powerful account that beautifully illustrates human-centred healthcare.
