An intubation scene from Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the COVID-19 battlefield provided by three of our team members who volunteered to travel from Shanghai and Qingdao to Wuhan to assist with patients there. From left to right: Rundong Tang, M.D. (anesthesiologist), Shumei Cao, M.D. (anesthesiologist), and Shu Hong (nurse). As noted, all the individuals who are involved in the intubation are wearing Level 3 protection. A video laryngoscope is used for rapid intubation and confirmation because the protective gear generates additional difficulty during the intubation.
