In addition, some healthcare professionals providing care to critically ill patients with COVID-19 may not be acquainted with the various nutrition products, adding to inappropriate utilization, scarcity, and potential complications. The following concepts are proposed for healthcare providers and institutions to consider in resource allocation decisions, based on 3 recently published articles. For example, if a hospital has fewer numbers of enteral nutrition (EN) pumps or supplies than there are patients requiring pump-assisted feedings, the nutrition support professionals would need to provide guidance on EN-pump allocation. Ethical dilemmas related to the care of patients in the COVID-19 pandemic need to be rapidly addressed by multidisciplinary bioethics committees, with the development of policies and procedures to assist providers in making difficult allocation decisions.	./cache/cord-302131-w10y5sf9.txt	./txt/cord-302131-w10y5sf9.txt
