Welcome to COVID Chronicles with Jenny Rudolph, a just-in-time podcast checking in with friends and colleagues from the front lines of healthcare, the home front, and other unique perspectives on learning and connecting in the time of coronavirus.

Albert Chan (twitter.com/gaseousXchange) is an anesthesiologist at Prince of Wales Hospital in Hong Kong, where they’ve been applying lessons learned during the SARS outbreak of 2003 to help prepare for COVID-19. Albert’s infographic on safe airway management in patients with confirmed/suspected coronavirus has gone worldwide, helping clinicians on the internet to build better infection control processes and keep themselves safe.

The success of this just in time learning, first published on the Life in the Fast Lane blog, has now been written up in Anaesthesia.

Listen along as we learn how to use simulation as a tool to make providers feel safe when they have to take care of COVID-19 postive patients, building collective competence and confidence among the staff.
