Thank you! Very helpful to get insights from the speakers. Thanky ou also to all healphcare Workers out there who face this battle and for everyone who stay at home and reduces social interaction as much as possible.
Thank you so much for taking your time to put this together for us. We wear N95 on every patient, COVID confirmed or not. We keep the masks and reuse. There is no way we that we are sitting 18" away from patient's face for 30-45 minutes, without N95...It appears to me, that the CDC is gearing their recommendations towards "nurses". We are not nurses, and we are exposed for much longer periods of time, within "danger zone", than almost anyone in hospital. These guidelines should not be extrapolated to be used under the conditions of performing an echo...this is like comparing apples to oranges..it needs to be made very clear that CDC guidelines do not consider our kind of work.
Great webinar. Thankful 🙏🏻 ASE.
How long are labs scheduling op TTE appts for, assuming we are still at the point where we are performing complete echoes but need extra cleaning time? Thanks
Great effort, please can you share the slides for educational proposes to our staff. Thank you
R0 for SARS-COV-2 is 4
4 is the upper limit of the estimated range
With all due respect... I am pissed off with these people talking about this crisis! Most of them are con sultant doctors... And most of them are hiding in their homes and not really in the frontlines! Alas to junior doctors which is truly in the frontlines along side with cardicac physiologist and other healthcare professionals.
one bicycle I wouldn’t be pissed off
We’re all in this together, mate
I’m not staying home. Neither are any of my colleagues
