The virus is highly transmissible, with increased risk during operations that involve the aerodigestive tract. It is important to be able to identify high-risk operations and scenarios to guide management decisions and selection of personal protective equipment. Preoperative testing is a key element in identifying high-risk scenarios, and preoperative testing protocols are essential to maintaining safety in the COVID-19 era. Because COVID-19 can be transmitted via the conjunctiva, adaptations to loupes and microscopes are necessary to safely perform microsurgery in high-risk scenarios. We outline a potential risk stratification algorithm, as well as precautions for each scenario. Potential areas for innovation are also discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: algorithm pictorial tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
