There are presently increasing amounts of information concerning protecting the health care workers in the operating rooms. This article will bring the latest information, data, and recommendations for personnel in the operating room, as well as how to minimize risk of COVID infection. The present COVID-19 pandemic underlines the importance of a mindful utilization of financial and human resources. Preserving resources and manpower is paramount in healthcare. It is important to ensure the ability of surgeons and specialized professionals to function through the pandemic. A conscious effort should be made to minimize infection in this sector. A high mortality rate within this group would be detrimental. We aim to describe recommended clinical pathways for COVID-19-positive patients requiring acute non-deferrable surgical care. All hospitals should organize dedicated protocols and workforce training as part of the effort to face the current pandemic.Background: Godwin J.et al. [1] have shown that the current COVID-19 pandemic, "when the destructive effects of natural or man-made forces to destroy the ability of a given area or community to meet the demand for health care" [1], During MCIs, preserving financial and human resources is crucial. A good preventive approach is mandatory in the phase of MCI response called mitigation. Wong J et al. [2] have reported in a review of operating room outbreak response in a large tertiary hospital in Singapore that in order to minimize resource exhaustion, the use of surgical appliances and staff must be well pondered and balanced [2]. Specialist, Surgeons and sub-specialized workers in general are the most valuable resource during MCI. Infection or death of subspecialized staff must be minimized to preserve the ability to face surgical emergencies and associated activities that will continue to occur or perhaps increase during MCI. When possible, all surgical procedures on all suspected COVID-19 patient should be postponed until confirmed infection clearance. Minimal staff should be involved when possible. If a large number of senior surgeons is exposed to infected patients, the possibility for them to become infected and require self-isolation is real and could potentially result in a dangerous shortage of senior expertise within surgical teams. Resource usage should be carefully considered when planning scheduled procedures, particularly with regard to materials, staff, devices, intensive care beds, blood components, etc. Caring for resource-intensive patients might be controversial during MCIs.We aim to describe recommended clinical pathways for COVID-19-positive patients requiring acute non-deferrable surgical care. All suspected COVID-19-positive patients requiring surgical intervention must be treated as positive until proven otherwise in order to minimize infection spread. Clearly defined pathways must be available to healthcare professionals caring for these patients. Allocating dedicated senior staff to key management roles is crucial to minimize COVID-19 spread. a) U...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
