The first challenge, given the specific concerns of the pandemic, was ensuring that each pod was converted into a room with negative pressure ventilation so that aerosol-generating procedures (AGP) that may be needed in obstetric patients with severe COVID-19 infection, such as nebulizer treatments, high flow nasal oxygen delivery, bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, and tracheal intubation could be performed without increasing the exposure risk for healthcare providers or the other patients and staff in the vicinity.	./cache/cord-344185-jz6ui4w3.txt	./txt/cord-344185-jz6ui4w3.txt
