S1 Ep. 13: Catch my disease, part 2 (Covid-19 airway management)

Today we continue our discussion about the recommendations from a couple of review articles published by the British Medical Journal regarding infection control and its implications in managing the Covid-19 patient's airway. We specifically talk about non-invasive ventilation, some subspecialty anaesthesia and considerations for working in critical care.
