Dr Matt Bigwood – Peer reviewer, moderator and research editor

Welcome!! I hope this page will form a single resource, as up to date as possible, on everything to do with the topic that has hit us all so hard…Coronavirus!

There is a lot out there and you can spend hours getting lost on the web, reading news stories and hearing one thing, then another contradicting the first! So, take some time to have a flick through what I have put together. More to come and updated regularly.

There are guidelines, infographics, papers and downloads. I will also try to collate the information coming through from some of our brilliant regional groups. Many thanks to David Lyness, Jenny Briggs, Paul Groves, Martin Smith, Grace Hoey and many others.

Stay safe, look after your patients AND yourselves.

All the best

Let’s kick this off with our graphic on COVID-19

A footnote to this graphic

When written, during the first wave, this contained the information we knew. The advent of the RECOVERY trial has highlighted the use of Dexamethasone once patients are on supplemental O2. SO the statement regarding not using them is false.

2. All the calculations you will need!

Thanks to MDCalc!

3. Socially Isolated, can’t congregate in masses to be trained??

Here is my full talk. Myth-busting, the virus, how we can cope together and well-being. Access it, use it and teach with it. I hope it helps you all?

4. Our COVID Resource Pack!

Please download it here. We have sourced resources for you all to take and use, learn from, teach with etc and it will grow daily! Please take advantage of it. Much of it is written by us as we discover more about new evidence, what works, what doesn’t etc. Watch this space and keep a check on new stuff coming in.

5. Here is all the evidence!!

Matt Bigwood has been manning the research scanning…he is keeping the list, you can find here, as up to date as possible! Please click in!

Could this be the key???

Justin Kirk Bailey et al discuss what could be a key measure in prophylaxis?? See what you think.

6. Lung Ultrasound hits the big time!

We are building a page all about it for you all here. Edited by myself and Cian McDermott. Click the pic to get you to the page!

Yale’s COVID Diary!

As below, my good friend Yale Tung Chen contracted COVID and made it through the other side….with a full ultrasound diary. With his kind permission, I made the lot into a graphic. Thank you Yale and we are so glad you got through it and are, “back in the trenches”, as he said.

Here is just a subset of many of the images freely available on the internet. Not all are 100% accurate, but considering much of this is cloaked in hysteria worldwide, it isn’t surprising there is so much out there!

15. ECMO referral

The Brompton has an excellent site for ECMO referral. The ‘how-to refer’ section is what I am pointing to here. Please see this as a guide and DO NOT REFER ALL PATIENTS HERE IN THE UK. There are other local centres, find yours.

Work out your patient’s RESP Score before ECMO referral

We talk all about COVID with Butterfly!

A panel of great friends and great discussion…see for yourself!

Dr Yale Tung Chen talks about his unique COVID 19 experience!!

He is a great friend and fellow Butterfly user. We cannot thank him enough for what he has done, both from the angle of selflessness and for the fact he has put himself on the line to get information out to us, free of nonsense. Yale contracted COVID 19 and tells us first hand what he has been going through, with lung ultrasound in a daily diary too! His twitter feed can be found here.

David Lyness talks about the virus!

Listen to David Lyness and his excellent analysis and presentation of the situation so far, all about the virus and what the future may hold…

Donning and doffing PPE

Proning

There is a lot of evidence emerging regarding the COVID19 patient with ARDS, that proning really can be of benefit. Here are some resources on this….perhaps we all need to become well versed in the technique? Click the top-right menu again to play the videos and pick which is easiest for you…
