Distinguishing COVID-19 From Other Respiratory Illnesses: Aaron Tande, M.D.


Listen Later

(00:47)
 Can you tell us a little bit about yourself and how your role has changed since COVID-19?

 

(02:02)
 How do you feel that testing will help Mayo and hospitals respond to this coming season's challenge?

 

(03:38)
 Can you tell us a little bit about the algorithm and how it helps to address perhaps potential resource shortages, knowing that we probably can't test everyone for everything all the time, and that may not be the best approach anyway?

 

(05:50)
 In your mind, what significance does it have if there's a positive or a negative result from the different tests that we'll be doing in the algorithm for SARS-CoV-2, influenza and RSV?

 

(08:18)
 But what about SARS-CoV-2 and influenza? Were you able to break that down at all for directing testing?

 

(09:01)
 The symptoms for influenza and COVID-19 are so similar, would it be appropriate to say that any symptomatic patient you would recommend testing for both at the same time, but RSV testing would only be added on to that algorithm for the patients that are at specific risk for RSV disease, like our young kids and our immunocompromised folks?

 

(09:51)
 So in using a triage system, would there be some patients that would go down the branches of the algorithm for testing versus those that wouldn't require testing?

 

(10:21)
 So out of all of this, what lessons have you learned that other health care professionals would benefit from?

 

(11:13)
 Have you seen anything inspiring that you've noticed during the pandemic?

 

(12:29)
 Is there anything else that you'd like to share with our audience today?
