Conclusion
The “new normal” workflow summarizes the ideal recommendations across published societal and institutional guidelines. This systematic analysis shows that enhanced PPE should be recommended where available. Adjunctive measures before definitive intervention of COVID-19 patients should be limited to the use of HFNCs. Tracheotomy is recommended to be performed after 10 days; although the long term sequelae of tracheal stenosis and pulmonary fibrosis with this approach need to be followed up.
