Ketamine could be a good agent for COVID-19 patient inductions; however, the anesthesiologist must be wary of cardiac failure with induction doses, especially if there is any preexisting history of cardiac disease or concern for viral cardiomyopathy. Prior to entering the COVID-19 patient's room, a review of the chart or a discussion with the primary team should include past medical history, current hemodynamic state, pertinent labs and findings, current medication regimens and the need to intubate over other strategies to improve oxygenation and ventilation. Upon entering the COVID-19 patient room, after securing appropriate personal and procedural equipment, the anesthesiologist should quickly move to the head of the bed while assessing the patient's current oxygenation and airway.	./cache/cord-271262-xglhx928.txt	./txt/cord-271262-xglhx928.txt
