End-of-life care during the Covid-19 pandemic : what makes the difference?
Article
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) has rapidly led to a global pandemic, with a second and third wave following the first, presenting a hitherto unprecedented challenge for critical care staff. Intensive care units (ICUs) and corresponding health care professionals have been overwhelmed in almost all countries across the globe. Current estimates indicate that ~10% of patients with COVID-19 will develop a severe disease, such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), and require intensive care. Although older adults represent a high-risk group with increased mortality—like other patients with comorbidities such as diabetes and cardiac disease—young people without pre-existing illnesses are also severely affected.
