Abstract: During a pandemic the primary responsibility of community, government, and health care systems is to isolate the disease and slow transmission. Stopping or slowing the spread of disease decreases the number of individuals exposed and mitigates the surge of critically ill patients into health care systems. Concomitantly health care systems should prepare for the surge predicted by public health authorities and expand capacity.1,2 If, despite maximum expansion, the surge is overwhelming, essential resources become scarce.
