Tracheotomy on an awake COVID-19+ patient
This case was designed during the COVID-19 outbreak in order to assess and improve team preparedness for safely and effectively caring for a critically ill patient with COVID-19 who is already intubated and requires a tracheotomy.
Note: Expired or simulated/replica personal protective equipment was used in our simulation, in order to redirect precious PPE from the University of Ottawa Skills and Simulation Centre to the front-line workers at The Ottawa Hospital.
This case is for educational purposes only. For clinical protocols, please see your local hospital or health system guidelines.

Case History:
You are the on-call surgeon and your next patient requires an emergent awake tracheotomy for an obstructing laryngeal lesion. They are suspected positive for COVID-19.
The patient is a 65-year-old male, long-time smoker, who presented to the emergency department with stridor, cough, and was found to have a near-obstructing laryngeal tumor. He also complains of anosmia. It was determined that intubation would be very-high risk or impossible. He has been in close contact with a COVID-19 positive family member. He is otherwise healthy, no routine medications, and no allergies. He is in respiratory distress and requires an emergent awake tracheotomy to secure his airway.
Learning Objectives:
1. Demonstrate knowledge of and effective management of a patient with COVID-19 to reduce the risk of contamination to oneself, OR staff, and OR environment;
2. Apply Best Practice Guidelines for tracheotomy in a COVID-19 positive patient;
3. Manage a high-risk aerosolization procedure of an infectious agent – tracheotomy
