This radical reorganisation within 2 weeks of an operating theatre and a RR relies on the professional, structural and material resources of an anaesthesia department to create an ICU with 10 beds dedicated to critical COVID-19 infected patients while maintaining the management of selected scheduled and emergency surgery. We report our experience with mobilisation of an anaesthesia team and use of existing structures for urgent creation of an ICU managing critical COVID-19 patients in a pandemic which exceeds the usual resources of resuscitation structures.	./cache/cord-284616-jgtsl06q.txt	./txt/cord-284616-jgtsl06q.txt
