Description

Physicians in Lombardy, Italy, have been overwhelmed by COVID-19 patients requiring critical care.

Maurizio Cecconi, MD, of Humanitas University in Milan discusses the region’s approach to the surge, including clinical and supply management, health care worker training and protection, and ventilation strategies, with JAMA Editor Howard Bauchner.
