Explanation:
The outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia that was first detected in Wuhan in December 2019 resulted in a worldwide pandemic. On February 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) formally named it coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). A person with laboratory confirmation of virus causing COVID-19 infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms, is considered as a confirmed case [1].
Globally, more than 3,750,000 confirmed individuals and over 250,000 deaths, across more than 200 countries, territories or areas have been reported [2]. Approximately 14% of confirmed cases developed severe disease [3], while the grand fatality rate was 4.2% [2]. As the virus continues to spread at an alarming rate, healthcare workers are seeking effective and actionable management for affected patients. In China, physicians have been coping with COVID-19 for over 3 months. Most of the people who contracted COVID-19 presented with mild symptoms (80.9%), then severe (13.8%), and finally critical (4.7%) (Table 1) [4]. Most of the confirmed cases were between the ages of 30 and 70 (86.6%), diagnosed in Hubei (74.7%), with the overall fatality rate of 2.3%, and 0.3% in health workers [4]. The case fatality rate for critical cases was 49.0% [4]. Patients with underlying diseases had much higher fatality rates than patients with no underlying diseases (10.5% for cardiovascular disease, 7.3% for diabetes, 6.3% for chronic respiratory disease, 6.0% for hypertension, 5.6% for cancer, and 0.9% for none) [4]. The epidemic outbreak curve peaked around January 23–26, 2020, after which the decline ensued. A recent single-center study found that most critical patients developed organ dysfunction, where 67% were found to have acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), 29% with acute kidney injury (AKI), 23% with cardiac injury, 29% with liver dysfunction, and 2% with pneumothorax [5]. Besides these epidemiological findings, Chinese experts have gained valuable experience in the management and pathology of this disease. We consider it our responsibility to share these experiences through the expert consensus.

One day I got a chance to visit a covid-19 ward of nearby hospital pair covid-19 patient will be treated in emergency
The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019) pandemic has swept all over the world, posing a great pressure on critical care resources due to large number of patients needing critical care. Statements from front-line experts in the field of intensive care are urgently needed.
Methods
Sixteen front-line experts in China fighting against the COVID-19 epidemic in Wuhan were organized to develop an expert statement after 5 rounds of expert seminars and discussions to provide trustworthy recommendation on the management of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Each expert was assigned tasks within their field of expertise to provide draft statements and rationale. Parts of the expert statement are based on epidemiological and clinical evidence, without available scientific evidences.
Results
A comprehensive document with 46 statements are presented, including protection of medical personnel, etiological treatment, diagnosis and treatment of tissue and organ functional impairment, psychological interventions, immunity therapy, nutritional support, and transportation of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Among them, 5 recommendations were strong (Grade 1), 21 were weak (Grade 2), and 20 were experts’ opinions
