COVID-19 Cliff Notes: A COVID-19 Multidisciplinary Care Compendium

As we pass the nearly 9 month mark of the coronavirus virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in the United States, we sought to compile a brief multi-disciplinary compendium of COVID-19 information learned to date. COVID-19 is an active viral pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that confers high morbidity and mortality. COVID-19 has been associated with: pulmonary compromise and acute respiratory distress syndrome, thrombotic events, inflammation and cytokine, and post-infectious syndromes. Mitigation of these complications and expeditious therapy are a global urgency; this is brief summary of current data and management approaches synthesized from publications, experience, cross-disciplinary expertise (Figure 1).
