#COVID19 nurse training at Tygerberg Hospital

“healthcare workers are now the most at risk population for infection, followed by people 60 and older and those with chronic illnesses.” facebook.com/5403754/posts/…

FEEL GOOD: 31-year-old Ncumisa started a pathology lab that's ready to test for #Covid_19 in East London | @W24_SA ow.ly/Nq4k50yV9Gb

This. If you’re not a healthcare professional or worker involved in frontline patient care … YOU. DO. NOT. NEED. AN. N95. MASK! Health care workers will die in South Africa because of lack of protection.

The mortality in patients needing intubation for #COVID19 is high. I give every patient the opportunity (if feasible) to make a phone call/send message before anaesthesia & intubation. I don't know if it will be their last. Be kind. Ed Mariano, MD, MAS, FASA, FASRA 🇺🇸🇵🇭 Imran Ahmad Natalie Silvey - silv24.bsky.social Dr Amit Pawa💉🎙️

Still make eye contact with patients. They need it #CoronaVirusSA #COVID19

Human creativity never fails to astound! What a great idea!

I swear to god if the cure for COVID-19 ends up having something to do with the Krebs cycle I'm gonna fucking lose it

What a difference #PPE makes! Check out the Italian hospital where no hospital workers have been infected #COVID19 #COVID19Pandemic #GetUsPPE news.sky.com/story/coronavi…

100% this. I emphasize to our staff that a pandemic is not an emergency, and meticulous attention to doffing/donning and keeping ETT's clamped when not on a sealed circuit will be paramount for staff safety.

Today , an old lady came past the unit and dropped off some scrubs she made out of old curtain material she had lying around because she heard there was a shortage . So I guess that makes us the Von Trapps now #COVID19 #PedsICU

Agree 100%. The intubation box must die.

Headache and jittery: ?CO2

To my anesthesia colleagues: if you use glide scopes, watch over your supply of blades. We are now out of blades and the company says that they won’t have more until August.

I love our president! #CoronavirusInSouthAfrica

Put smiles on masks for connection #Covid19SA #COVID19 #StayHomeSA
