TL;DR: Around 1 in 10 healthcare workers involved in tracheal intubation of patients with suspected or confirmed CO VID‐19 subsequently reported a COVID‐19 outcome, which has human resource implications for institutional capacity to deliver essential healthcare services, and wider societal implications for COVID-19 transmission.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a prospective observational cohort study between March 23, 2020 and October 24, 2020, which included 4,476 episodes of emergency tracheal intubation performed by 1,722 clinicians from 607 institutions across 32 countries in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 requiring mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: If elective surgery is to be re-established whereas CO VID-19 is prevalent, the focus on effective PPE must be maintained in order to minimise the risk of COVID-19 transmission to healthcareworkers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used simulation to help train airway managers to intubate patients with COVID-19, which is a high-risk procedure for not only the patient, but all healthcare workers involved, leading to an understandable degree of staff anxiety.

TL;DR: There is a critical need for future studies to explore the relationship between genderinsensitive personal protective equipment (PPE) and COVID-19-related outcomes in healthcare workers involved in tracheal intubation, and the identification of risk factors was a secondary outcome.
