Abstract
The authors comment on communication problems with patients and families in ICUs during the social isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. They report new techniques used, such as a virtual visit via WhatsApp, and the creation of multidisciplinary teams to assist family members in overcoming grief after the death of their loved ones.
