“…The WHO (2014) recommends reducing elective surgery as part of planning for surge capacity during a pandemic acute respiratory disease in healthcare. In the current COVID-19 pandemic, such a reduction has already been reported by others keeping the system functioning for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients (Forrester et al 2020, Wong et al 2020.…”

“…These include intubation, extubation, manual ventilation, open suctioning of the respiratory tract, high flow nasal oxygen, administration of humified oxygen, surgeries involving high-speed drilling, and mucosal exposure. [ 11 12 13 14 ] Local anesthesia (LA) is preferred over general anesthesia (GA). Surgical procedures under GA should have an interval of 20–30 min between cases for aerosol clearance.…”

“…El riesgo de transmisión de COVID-19 durante la laparoscopia sigue siendo teórico, pero no se puede descartar, dada la exposición oral, nasal y ocular (1,7). Por este motivo, es una buena práctica comprobar todos los instrumentos y el correcto funcionamiento del sistema de aspiración antes de iniciar el procedimiento; utilizar trócares de globo y crear orificios adecuados para la inserción de trócares sin fugas; para evitar fugas de humo que obstruyan el campo quirúrgico, que deben eliminarse mediante el dispositivo de succión por vacío; y para desinflar completamente el neumoperitoneo antes de realizar una incisión de servicio y al final del procedimiento antes de la extracción del trócar (19).…”

“…Para prevenir infecciones a quienes están fuera de la habitación, el aire se pasa por un filtro de aire de partículas de alta eficiencia (HEPA) y se evacua desde estas habitaciones a la atmósfera externa. Las puertas deben permanecer cerradas durante la intervención, para optimizar la frecuencia de estos cambios de aire (1,3). Si las salas de presión negativa no están disponibles, se debe buscar la consulta con los departamentos de bioingeniería dentro de una institución para optimizar los flujos de trabajo existentes (6).…”
