TL;DR: This is the first case of acute cardiac injury directly linked to myocardial localization of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) in a 69‐year‐old patient with flu‐like symptoms rapidly degenerating into respiratory distress, hypotension, and cardiogenic shock.

TL;DR: A pragmatic protocol for early nutritional supplementation of non-critically ill patients hospitalized for COVID-19 disease is presented, based on the observation that most patients present at admission with severe inflammation and anorexia leading to a drastic reduction of food intake and that a substantial percentage develops respiratory failure requiring non-invasive ventilation or even continuous positive airway pressure.

TL;DR: Widespread broad-spectrum antibiotic use in patients with COVID-19 is revealed and implementation of antimicrobial stewardship principles is warranted to mitigate the negative consequences of antibiotic therapy.

TL;DR: Patients with COVID-19 present a broad spectrum of clinical presentation, whereas hypoxaemia is the marker of severity, different strategies of management should be customised to five specific individual phenotypes, which would benefit the optimisation of therapies and improve outcomes.

TL;DR: This document is a consensus of multispecialty international representatives of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization, including the North America, Latin America, EuroELSO, South West Asia and Africa, and Asia‐Pacific chapters, imparting a global perspective on ECLS.
