Abstract

The pandemic era of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) continues to threaten the major global health system in all aspects. Additionally, the number of patients requiring surgery is gradually increase. Patients always suffer from complications of the Coronavirus disease in both the short term and long term. To reduce morbidity and mortality, delaying elective surgeries for 7 weeks in COVID-19 recovered patients is the latest recommendation. As there is scarce of evidence in “post-COVID syndrome”, healthcare providers should carefully conduct preoperative evaluations and risk assessments for individual patients. In this paper, we review the recent evidence of long-term sequelae of COVID-19 infections, isolation times, time to elective surgery, and key considerations for anesthetic management of previouslyinfected patients.
