| Abstract | ||
| Background: The COVID-19 The new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has not only profoundly altered surgical treatment across the world, but it has also presented unprecedented difficulties to global healthcare systems. There has been a significant change in how anaesthesia and infection control are handled in perioperative settings due to the increased potential of viral transmission. Strict procedures have been implemented to guarantee the safety of patients and healthcare personnel due to the highly infectious nature of the virus and its potentially devastating clinical effects.. Objective: The goal of this study was to provide the anesthesia care provider with an understanding of the basics, clinical aspects and recent advances of anesthesia management and perioperative infection control in coronavirus patients in order to diminish related morbidity and to avoid adverse perioperative event. Conclusions: The Patients who have healed with COVID-19 may be posted for elective procedures within 0-2 weeks after receiving negative results for SARS-CoV-2. As more and more COVID-19 survivors become surgical candidates, it becomes imperative to do a thorough preoperative examination and risk assessment before admitting them. In the lack of strong scientific data on outcomes for these individuals following elective procedures, integrating excellent clinical skills and a range of diagnostic studies may allow us to evaluate each patient. | ||
