COVID-19: potential transmission through aerosols in surgical procedures and blood products	2020-07-23		.txt	text/plain	1324	73	48	A six-fold increased risk of transmission of viral diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has been reported during anaesthetic procedures such as endotracheal intubation. 2 no definite transmission has been reported due to surgical procedures, however unlike other viral diseases such as SARS and middle east respiratory syndrome (meRS), CoVid-19 appears to be both severe and highly transmissible and therefore could pose a far higher risk to surgeons and operating room staff. 9, 11 in comparison to SARS, in which only very low plasma levels of virus have been reported, 12 the blood of CoVid-19 patients is likely to have a higher potential for aerosols produced during surgical procedures to carry the virus. there is increasing evidence that a significant number of potentially up to 50% or more of individuals infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) are asymptomatic.	./cache/cord-297217-pe6mehjv.txt	./txt/cord-297217-pe6mehjv.txt
