Abstract
Coronavirus disease (COVID)-19, especially the severe disease is associated with an increased risk and prevalence of venous thromboembolism [1]. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) binds to the angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE-2) receptors on endothelial cells, especially within the kidneys, heart, lungs, etc. causing endothelial cell damage leading to thrombosis and thrombotic complications like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, etc [2].We present here our experience of the anaesthetic management of a 40 year old male with post COVID-19 sinonasal mucormycosis and history of pulmonary embolism posted for bilateral functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and endoscopic debridement.
