O cartão também está disponível em inglês, espanhol e francês e destina-se a ser usado em dispositivos móveis ou impresso em cartolina e depois dobrado. Versões de 8,5 x 11 polegadas estão disponíveis mediante solicitação. Este auxílio visual contém resumos informativos de conceitos-chave em cuidados respiratórios para fornecimento de oxigênio não invasivo e ventilação mecânica.

This card is edited and updated continuously (last updates indicated in the versions below). The card is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese & French and is intended to be used on mobile devices or printed on cardstock and then folded. 8.5x11 inch versions are available upon request. This visual aid contains informative summaries of key concepts in respiratory care for both non-invasive oxygen delivery and mechanical ventilation.

This systematic review and expert discussion by Rich Kallet, RRT analyzes whether COVID-19–associated respiratory failure is essentially ARDS and response to noninvasive ventilation among many other debates from the past year.

Para apoyar a las enfermeras que necesitan capacitación cruzada para cuidar a los pacientes con COVID-19, American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) ha puesto este curso de aprendizaje electrónico a disposición de todas las enfermeras, sin cargo, para brindar recursos vitales durante este momento desafiante. Aquí está la versión en español del curso. La versión en inglés está disponible en AANC.org

In this course you will learn about:
- Basic physiology of oxygen transport
- How pulse oximeters work
- How to use a pulse oximeter, including the Lifebox pulse oximeter
- Using a systematic approach to manage hypoxemia in severe acute respiratory infections (SARI)

By the end of this course, participants should be able to:

· Discuss appropriate use of lab tests and imaging for COVID-19 patients
· Explain rationale and list indications for oxygen therapy;
· Appropriately utilize pulse oximetry in evaluation & management of COVID19
· Classify a patient with COVID-19 as mild, moderate or severe & identify risk factors for progression
· Discuss considerations for home care
· Discuss indications for antimicrobial use in COVID-19 patients
· Recognize and manage common acute and chronic infections that may overlap with COVID-19

These guidelines are intended to help providers with the evaluation and treatment of severe cases of Covid-19 in children. Covid-19 and Multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MISC) in children have overlapping features. This resource helps to distinguish these two pathways.

85 potential therapeutic options are included within this database for COVID-19. This is the seventeenth edition and will continuously be updated as more research is released. The database is helpful for investigators, policy makers, and prescribers to ensure management of COVID-19 is based on the latest research.

These presentations and discussion are part of the COVID19 clinical updates webinars hosted by USAID’s Sustaining Technical and Analytic Resources and UCSF, with support from USAIDs O2 Ecosystem Initiative.

This webinar discusses Pulse oximetry - including the fundamentals of how it works, limitations in the technology (including skin pigmentation effects), and practical aspects of implementation including implications for oxygen consumption in resource-variable settings.
