Global Impact of COVID-19 on Pulmonology Special Units

Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound impact on the world. As of May 18, 2020, there were 4,889,287 confirmed cases and 322,683 deaths globally. The healthcare system is wrestling with a virus that threatens to overwhelm hospital capacity, while simultaneously confronting an unprecedented reduction in elective and non-essential care. A survey by the American Cancer Society showed that 50% of cancer patients and survivors reported some impact to their healthcare due to the COVID-19 epidemic. A recent survey was conducted by Forbes et al to evaluate the changes in GI and endoscopy practices in North America. However, the impact of this epidemic on Pulmonology units ( bronchoscopy, thoracoscopy, ultrsonography and sleep lab) globally has not been studied.
