Download – Intensive care management of pandemic influenza

This article is largely based on local and published clinical experience gained during the 2009 pandemic of H1N1 influenza. Remember to consider H1N1 in the differential of any persistently febrile respiratory illness and isolate or cohort the patient. Rescue strategies may be needed, including ECMO if available. This condition has a high mortality.
