The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a worldwide
pandemic. Preparing intensive care units (ICU) is an integral part of any
pandemic response. In this review, we discuss the key principles and strategies
for ICU preparedness. We also describe our initial outbreak measures and share
some of the challenges faced. To achieve sustainable ICU services, we propose the
need to 1) prepare and implement rapid identification and isolation protocols,
and a surge in ICU bed capacity; (2) provide a sustainable workforce with a focus
on infection control; (3) ensure adequate supplies to equip ICUs and protect
healthcare workers; and (4) maintain quality clinical management, as well as
effective communication.
