The COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent surge of patients presented to emergency departments has forever changed the paradigm of delivering emergency care. The highly infectious nature of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus, or COVID-19, mandated strict environmental changes, novel patient care, and flexible strategies to continue to deliver efficient emergency care while maintaining appropriate physical distancing between suspect and non-suspect COVID-19 patients. The engagement of a unique rapidly deployable Mobile Satellite Emergency Department (MSED) with scalable capability from prompt care to resuscitation level allowed the emergency care team to optimize patient care and throughput. The MSED was strategically located adjacent to the ambulance entrance. While initially deployed to increase Emergency Department surge capacity, the MSED was repurposed to cohort and treat COVID patients with the monoclonal antibody, Bamlanivimab, who were expected to be discharged after treatment. This allowed for more efficient use of Emergency Department resources, including physical space and staffing.

Abstract We partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to treat high-risk, non-admitted COVID-19 patients with bamlanivimab in the Bronx, NY per Emergency Use Authorization criteria. Increasing post-treatment hospitalizations were observed monthly between December 2020-March 2021 in parallel to the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants in New York City.

ABSTRACT C57BL/6 (B6) mice infected with LP-BM5 retroviruses develop disease, including an immunodeficiency similar to AIDS. This disease, murine AIDS (MAIDS), is inhibited by in vivo anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody treatment. The similar levels of insusceptibility of CD40−/− and CD154−/− B6 mice indicate that CD154/CD40 molecular interactions are required for MAIDS. CD4+ T and B cells, respectively, provide the CD154 and CD40 expression needed for MAIDS induction. Here, the required CD154/CD40 interaction is shown to be independent of CD80 and CD86 expression: CD80/CD86−/− B6 mice develop MAIDS after LP-BM5 infection.
