In late 2019, a novel coronavirus was identified as the cause of a cluster of
atypical pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. It subsequently spread throughout China
and around the world, quickly becoming a public health emergency. In March 2020,
the World Health Organization declared coronavirus disease 2019 a pandemic. This
article explores the preparation and early experiences of a large Canadian
critical care transport program during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic
focused on 6 broad strategic objectives centered around staff welfare, regular
and transparent communication, networking, evidenced-based approach to personal
protective equipment, agile mission planning, and an expedited approach to
clinical practice and policy updates and future state modeling.
