Role of CNS in COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has created a need for quick development and implementation of rapidly evolving literature to improve patient outcomes.  In March 2020, literature appeared translating a technique formerly used for critical care ventilator patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) to awake, non-ventilated patients with acute hypoxemic failure due to COVID-19.  This session will describe the rapid development, implementation, and outcomes of a protocol in a large health care system.  In addition, the development of a national guideline will also be detailed.
