Treatment

In 2020, the American Heart Association, in collaboration with the American College of Emergency Physicians and other stakeholders, published guidelines for advanced life support on patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19. These guidelines modify basic and advanced life support algorithms for patients with COVID-19 and are generally appropriate when treating other contagious respiratory infections.

The published guidelines are open access and available online:

Edelson DP, Sasson C, Chan PS, et al; American Heart Association ECC Interim COVID Guidance Authors. Interim guidance for basic and advanced life support in adults, children, and neonates with suspected or confirmed COVID-19: from the Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee and Get With the Guidelines-Resuscitation Adult and Pediatric Task Forces of the American Heart Association.
