Resumo

In early December 2019, an outbreak of infection by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was detected in Wuhan, China [1]. Beyond the challenges for clinical management of the viral infection and its complications, intensive care unit (ICU) teams had to adapt their routines to a particularly elevated risk of healthcare workers contamination. Therefore, preventive strategies had to be implemented, mainly during orotracheal intubation and other aerosol-generating procedures. These included rigorous use of personal protective equipment and limiting the number of professionals in the patients’ room to avoid unnecessary exposure.
