“…Simulation training, specific to managing suspected COVID-19 cases, should be in place in every delivery suite. It is an important exercise during the acute phase, but ideally simulation training should be conducted on regular basis (for example, at least once a year) in all hospitals for preparing healthcare caregivers to provide care for patients infected with high-consequence pathogens [41].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus, is rapidly spreading across the world. As the number of infections increases, those of infected pregnant women and children will rise as well. Controversy exists whether COVID-19 can be transmitted in utero and lead to disease in the newborn. As this chance cannot be ruled out, strict instructions for the management of mothers and newborn infants are mandatory. This perspective aims to be a practical support tool for the planning of delivery and neonatal resuscitation of infants born by mothers with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection.

“…The feasibility of implementing the strategy should be determined after conducting realistic simulation training, including transportation training, at the delivery site. In addition to simulation training during the acute/pandemic phase, ideal simulation training for neonatal resuscitation should also be conducted on a regular basis (i.e., at least once a year), in the wards that perform neonatal resuscitation 5 . The training should confirm to the latest neonatal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (NCPR) algorithm 6 …”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread worldwide within a short period, and there is still no sign of an end to the pandemic. Management of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-infected pregnant women at the time of delivery presents a unique challenge. To fulfill the goal of providing adequate management of such women and their infants, and to decrease the risk of exposure of the healthcare providers, tentative guidelines are needed until more evidence is collected. Practical preventative action is required that takes into account the following infection routes: (i) aerosol transmission from mothers to healthcare providers, (ii) horizontal transmission to healthcare providers from infants infected by their mothers, and (iii) horizontal transmission from mothers to infants. To develop standard operating procedures, briefings/training simulations should be carried out, taking into account the latest information. Briefings should be carefully conducted to clarify the role and procedures. Healthcare providers should wear personal protective equipment. If it is physically possible, neonatal resuscitation should be performed in a separate area next to the delivery room. If a separate area is not available, the infant warmer should be placed at least 2 m away from the delivery table, or partitioned off in the same room. A minimum number of skilled personnel should participate in resuscitation using the latest neonatal resuscitation algorithms.

“…Lessons learned from these exercises informed operational, logistic, and clinical aspects of BCU activation and helped to refine the state and regional response plans for highly infectious diseases. 8 The BCU also activated 3 times for PUIs suspected to have viral hemorrhagic fever, which further informed care protocols.…”

“…Previous fully functional exercises demonstrated that this type of training was effective in limiting the likelihood of healthcare worker exposure to highly infectious diseases. 8 For each activation of the BCU for COVID-19, the time interval between the decision for unit activation and unit readiness, defined as the physical and functional ability to safely admit patients to the BCU, was <90 minutes. As a regional treatment center, the BCU also met its 8-hour goal between unit activation notice and patient admission to JH Health System for each of the COVID-19 activations.…”

In response to the Ebola outbreak of 2014-2016, the US Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) established 10 regional treatment centers, called biocontainment units (BCUs) to prepare and provide care for patients infected with high consequence pathogens. Many of these BCUs were among the first units to activate for COVID-19 patient care. The activities of the Johns Hopkins BCU in the three domains of containment care ---(1) preparedness planning, education and training, (2) patient care and unit operations, and (3) research and innovation---helped prepare the Johns Hopkins Health System for COVID-19. Here we describe the role of the JH BCU in the Hopkins COVID-19 response to illustrate the value of BCUs in the current pandemic and their potential role in preparing healthcare facilities and health systems for future infectious disease threats.
