Abstract
These coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) guidelines focus specifically on patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19. For resuscitation of those who are low risk or confirmed negative for COVID-19, the reader is directed to the standard resuscitation guidelines for adults and children.[SUP]1-3[/SUP] Where uncertainty exists treatment should be informed by a dynamic risk assessment which may consider current COVID-19 prevalence, the patient's presentation (e.g. history of COVID-19 contact, COVID-19 symptoms), likelihood that treatment will be effective, availability of personal protective equipment (PPE) and personal risks for those providing treatment. These guidelines will be subject to evolving knowledge and experience of COVID-19. As countries are at different stages of the pandemic, there may some international variation in practice.
