The COVID-19 pandemic impacted New York City severely. As a radiology resident, I was unsure how my role would change as the pandemic unfolded. Like many hospital systems in New York City, my department was asked to assist in the clinical care of patients during the dramatic surge of admissions related to COVID-19. I placed invasive central lines for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit to help reduce the workload on already overwhelmed critical care teams. I also performed direct patient care within dedicated COVID-19 inpatient floors.
新冠疫情对纽约市造成了严重影响。作为一名放射科住院医师,我不确定随着疫情的发展,我的角色会如何变化。与纽约市的许多医院系统一样,我们科室被要求在与新冠相关的住院人数急剧增加期间协助临床治疗患者。我为重症监护病房中的重症患者放置了侵入性中央静脉置管,以帮助减轻已经不堪重负的重症监护团队的工作量。我还在专门的新冠住院病房内提供直接的患者护理。
