COVID-19 Evidence Service

The Learnly Anesthesia/Stanford AIM Lab Evidence Service is currently dedicated to assisting front line anesthesiology providers in their efforts against the current COVID-19 pandemic. This page will be updated regularly with our work as we synthesize current evidence and disseminate it to hard working clinicians serving patients and their communities.

We invite you to ask us your COVID-19 anesthesia-related questions.
