Comparison of Three Tracheal Intubation Procedures Using Personal Protective Equipment, Direct and Video Laryngoscopes: An Open, Randomized, Parallel Clinical Trial.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, severe respiratory failure is a life-threatening condition, and life-saving tracheal intubation is a high-risk aerosol- and droplet-generating procedure. It is crucial to protect healthcare workers without compromising patient safety during intubation. The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and different types of laryngoscopes are measures to reduce the risk of infectious transmission that might impact the intubation process.

Risk factors and outcomes of critically ill pregnant COVID-19 patients: Experience from the first and second waves of the pandemic.

Introduction: Understanding the association between risk factors and clinical outcomes of COVID-19 can lead to identifying suitable management strategies for reducing the mortality rate among maternal COVID-19 patients in the ICU.

Aim Of The Study: This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes and risk factors associated with pregnant and postpartum women diagnosed with COVID-19 and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) between May 2020 and September 2021.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at the Universitas Indonesia Hospital.
