Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation during the Coronavirus Crisis – important updates for the cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia community	2020-04-28		.txt	text/plain	2005	129	35	5 The perspectives from care providers in the frontlines have raised the following issues about life support for cardiac arrest during the COVID-19 pandemic: infection control, risk-stratification to guide decision-making, protocols to guide resuscitation in patients who wish to set limits on their care, and, further deliberations at the national level to inform point-of-care delivery in this context. [5] [6] These guideline updates have addressed the following major considerations in the conduct of life support in these challenging settings: provider exposure; oxygenation and ventilation strategies; the appropriateness of resuscitation; and, lastly considerations specific to 3 certain care situations. [19] [20] It is therefore important to consider the probability of success in cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a given case versus the risks of infection, diverted clinical attention and resource utilization during the pandemic, especially in stressed health care environments during the crisis phase of the COVID-19 crisis.	./cache/cord-256357-dlc8yb6j.txt	./txt/cord-256357-dlc8yb6j.txt
