الوصف: Life changed from 1 min to the next. It is one of those significant events one never forgets. The pandemic reached the United States (US), and the US was not well prepared. The first coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) patient arrives. He required care. Each nurse in each intensive care unit will always remember the first COVID-19 patient and will also remember how it felt when caring for him. At some point, thoughts begin: is all the personal protective equipment (PPE) needed to take care of these patients available? Can staff protect themselves and not get infected? What will happen if supplies run out, especially PPE? Will supplies be available when its needed? Does PPE get reused? As time goes by, things improve, and PPE is more available. Yet concerns do not disappear. They only transformed into different ones. How complicated or easy was it to have all the necessary PPE required to care for patients with COVID-19? Please read on. Join us to know how complicated or easy it was to have all the necessary PPE to care for patients with COVID-19.
