Abstract

In the greatest contemporary world health crisis in memory, everyone has thousands of questions to ask, but no one has the correct answers to give, this will be a dynamic, acute world of constant changes, learning, experiences and relearning that we will have to be willing to face and absorb in a path full of grays and shadows. The quantity and quality of information released in relation to the assessment and treatment of VA in suspected or C19-contaminated patients has reached a magnitude as impressive as the spread of the virus itself. There is material of excellent informative quality in video tutorials, diagrams, algorithms, visual aids, documents, online publications, etc., but a no lesser amount of information that is incorrect and of poor quality has also been dispersed.
