“…The situations in which a delay in the surgical procedure may affect the patient, such as some oncologic or organ transplant surgeries, surgery must be performed following strict preventive measures. In the case of unpostponable abdominal surgeries, a laparotomic operation with regional anesthesia should be preferred (Carneiro et al, 2020;Cohen et al, 2020;Correia, Ramos & Bahten, 2020;Quintão et al, 2020). Other articles summarized protocols and recommendations for hand (Ducournau et al, 2020), head and neck (Kowalski et al, 2020), and urologic surgeries (Puliatti et al, 2020).…”

“…Telemedicine should be considered as an alternative to patient attention to avoid COVID-19 spreading. However, this strategy is limited because of the scarce existence of telemedicine systems; thus, social media could be used (Machado et al, 2020;Quintão et al, 2020). Elachola, Ebrahim & Gozzer (2020) highlighted that there are no prevalence and effectiveness studies on using facemasks related to the COVID-19 outbreak.…”

This article aimed to give the visibility of Latin American researchers’ contributions to the comprehension of COVID-19; our method was a literature review. Currently, the world is facing a health and socioeconomic crisis caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, and its disease COVID-19. Therefore, in less than 4 months, researchers have published a significant number of articles related to this novel virus. For instance, a search focused on the Scopus database on 10 April 2020, showed 1,224 documents published by authors with 1,797 affiliations from 80 countries. A total of 25.4%, 24.0% and 12.6% of these national affiliations were from China, Europe and the USA, respectively, making these regions leaders in COVID-19 research. In the case of Latin America, on 10 April 2020, we searched different databases, such as Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science, finding that the contribution of this region was 2.7 ± 0.6% of the total publications found. In other words, we found 153 publications related to COVID-19 with at least one Latin American researcher. We summarized and processed the information from these 153 publications, finding active participation in topics like medical, social and environmental considerations, bioinformatics and epidemiology.

“…5 For other patients who need general anaesthesia, it is very crucial to consider some cautions such as using an antiviral filter to connect between patients and anaesthetic machine (to reduce the risk of contamination), a well-fitted face mask (for pre-oxygenation) and intubation with sufficient relaxation as well as doing video laryngoscopy by an expert anesthesiologist are highly recommended to decrease the risk of interaction with patient's airway during intubation. In patients with confirmed COVID-19, awake intubation has been avoided in many literatures 4,5,8 to reduce the risk of extra contaminating anesthesiologists and medical staff, which are following our strategies.…”

Since the end of 2019, the world has experienced the biggest catastrophic event of the century because of the manifestation of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which could lead to severe pneumonia. All countries need to prepare their resources and infrastructures as well as healthcare systems to overcome this disaster or any next pandemic, which may occur in the future again. At the time of this writing, my country is suffering from second wave of this pandemic. In Iran, the prevalence of COVID-19 with a high rate of mortality is still at an alarming rate which brings severe concern and a massive burden for health care systems. As of September 15, 2020, the number of infected people with COVID-19 in Iran was 407,353 with 23,453 deaths. In this short report, we want to share our response planning with emphasis on the measures being applied in our hospital particularly our anesthesiology department, to decrease the spread of COVID-19 in the operating rooms and intensive care units (ICU) of this significant referral centre (450-bed) of Hormozgan university located in Bandar Abbas, Hormozgan province south of Iran.
