Putting a COVID-19 Patient on Life Support | WakeMed Medical Simulation Center

This was a coordinated effort of our emergency physicians, medical intensivists, APPs, and respiratory therapists to demonstrate a RSI intubation of a suspected COVID patient. Like the rest of the nation, we are conserving PPE, so none was destroyed for this drill but the principles remain the same.
