Abstract
(Br J Anaesth. 2020;125:895–911. doi: 10.1016/j.bja.2020.08.049. PMID: 33121750; PMCID: PMC7473146) Since Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) became a worldwide pandemic, health care guidelines have pivoted to protect health care workers (HCWs) and patients. There is little known, however, regarding best perioperative management practices for patients with COVID-19 and how techniques impact patient outcomes and transmission rates. A rapid review was done early on, but a more thorough, high-quality, and evidence-based analysis was needed. This study aims to do 2 things: (1) take case reports and studies of patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 who underwent surgery and conduct a rapid review on the data (eg, morbidity, mortality, use of intensive care, hospital length of stay, pain support, and respiratory) as well as COVID-19 transmission rates to HCWs and (2) analyze various perioperative techniques and outcomes for cesarean sections (C-sections) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Tongji Hospital, Wuhan.
