Epicenter Perspective | Sean Pinney, MD, FACC, on the New York City COVID-19 Epicenter
Sean Pinney, MD, FACC, provides an overview of Mount Sinai Health System's efforts to combat COVID-19 in New York City, including the importance of systemic anticoagulation as "now more than ever we're beginning to realize that COVID illness is really a thrombotic disorder." He also tells us that if he'd known a month ago what he knows now, he wishes they'd organized proning teams sooner – teams of nurses and assistants who can go through the mechanics of turning over patients while on a ventilator as there are a number of technical challenges he'd never considered.
