Clinical and Ethical Considerations in Allocation of Ventilators in an Influenza Pandemic or Other Public Health Disaster: A Comparison of the 2007 and 2015 New York State Ventilator Allocation Guidelines	2020-07-14		.txt	text/plain	5092	235	43	S ince New York State released its draft ethical and clinical guidelines for the allocation of ventilators to adults in an influenza pandemic in 2007, public health emergencies, such as the novel H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, the Ebola virus disease in 2014, and now coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID19) , have increasingly captured the public's attention. Following the release of the Draft Guidelines, at the request of the NYSDOH, the Task Force: (1) reexamined and revised the Adult Guidelines within the context of the public comments and feedback received, (2) developed separate guidelines for triaging pediatric and neonatal patients, and (3) expanded its analysis of the various legal issues that may arise when implementing the clinical protocols for ventilator allocation. 15 This article summarizes the development and content of the revised 2015 Adult Guidelines compared with the 2007 Draft Guidelines, with emphasis on the new or revised aspects of the ethical considerations and clinical protocol, to assist other emergency planners when allocating scarce resources, especially during a respiratory-related pandemic such as influenza or COVID-19.	./cache/cord-327597-fgnrujsf.txt	./txt/cord-327597-fgnrujsf.txt
