Surviving Sepsis Campaign: Guidelines on the Management of Critically Ill Adults with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Our presentation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign's Guidelines on the Management of Critically Ill Adults with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) provides recommendations to support hospital clinicians managing critically ill adults with COVID-19 in the ICU. The target users of this guideline are frontline clinicians, allie health professionals, and policymakers involved in the care of patients with COVID-19 in the ICU.

The recommendations for the management of COVID-19 are organized around five topics:

• Infection control
• Laboratory diagnosis and specimens
• Hemodynamic support
• Ventilatory support
• COVID-19 therapy

Learn about incorporating the correct infection control procedures and how to provide oxygen therapy among other courses of COVID-19 care.

The guidelines come from a panel of 36 experts from 12 countries who reviewed the literature and identified relevant and recent evidence on supportive care for COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Recommendations were generated based on the balance between benefit and harm, resource and cost implications, equity, and feasibility.
