dc.description.abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic places health care systems under extreme pressure. As the infection spreads, the number of infected patients requiring hospital admission was often overwhelming, displacing care for other groups. Many required ICU admission. In places, the (expected) number of patients requiring ICU admission far exceeded the number of ICU beds and care providers normally available. Hospitals therefore doubled or tripled their ICU capacity by decreasing or halting elective surgery and establishing ICU beds in empty operating rooms and postoperative anaesthesia care units.
