The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forever changed the lives of many across the world. Like many others, New Yorkers witnessed their hospital systems become overwhelmed with a massive influx of critically ill patients. Protocols, workflow, staffing, and individual responsibilities all changed as health care providers scrambled to help where they could. As we see, for the second time this year, a rapid rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in the United States, I wanted to share our experience as vascular surgeons during the first surge from a health care system located in New York City, one of the largest epicenters of the pandemic.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)大流行永远改变了世界各地许多人的生活。和许多其他人一样,纽约人目睹了他们的医院系统因大量重症患者的涌入而不堪重负。随着医护人员争先恐后地尽己所能提供帮助,医疗规程、工作流程、人员配备和个人职责都发生了变化。鉴于我们今年第二次看到美国COVID-19病例数迅速上升,我想分享一下我们作为血管外科医生在第一次疫情高峰期间的经历,该经历来自位于纽约市的一个医疗系统,纽约市是此次大流行最大的中心之一。
