Grab and Go COVID-19 Intubation Kit and Emergency Medication Kit

The current COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented global crisis that renewed focus on public health and affected families, communities, and societies across the world [1]. While HCWs (health care workers) safety concerns grow, physicians are gaining exceptional experience in the management of critically ill patients. Undoubtedly, one of the most stressful and substantial points in patient care is airway management [2]. Intubation is one of the highest risk moment for COVID-19 spread to HCWs and other patients [3, 4]. Despite planning ahead for intubation, it is not uncommon to have a crashing patient who needs immediate airway support. It is frequently observed that in emergencies adhering to recommendations may not always be possible, especially when one has to concentrate on many tasks like gearing up with PPEs, minimizing infection spread, and preparing and planning of required equipment and drugs [5]. In emergency scenarios, time is the key. Ideally, neither the patient nor the HCWs should be exposed to higher risks, regardless of the location of the scenarios, especially dealing with non-critical care staff in remote areas. COVID-19 is a highly contagious disease and dealing with COVID emergen-cies is an extremely stressful situation for HCWs, so it is useful to provide pre-defined protocols, simulation drills as well as easily accessible, disposable, ready to use equipment [6, 7].
