Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic due to the novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) has affected many aspects of the health system.
One of those groups that are at very high risk are those health care personnel
(including physicians, nurses, and managerial personnel) delivering the
perioperative care; including preoperative care, intraoperative care and
postoperative care. This is the same challenge for the patients who need to be
admitted in hospital while they are feared of being affected by SARS-CoV2.
This review considers the safety precautions for perioperative protection of
healthcare personnel and patients based on the available evidence.
