Essential COVID knowledge: Dr. Manuel Ignacio Monge García | COVID 19

This piece digs deep into the realities of coping with COVID 19 patients who have had their care escalated to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU); "we don't seem to be looking at our typical sepsis patients who get multiple organ failure in the classical way" and "you're surprised at how young some of the patients are...". Our guest provides us further insight; a 'household name' in the haemodynamic monitoring space; he is treating patients in a medium sized hospital (500 beds) with mostly COVID patients in Spain. How are things going there, how does it compare to Italy? How are the patients being dealt with, what can we learn about the basics here, airway, breathing, ventilation (ABC)? There is also a gripping discussion regarding dynamic arterial elastance.
