Otolaryngology in the Time of Corona: Assessing Operative Impact and Risk During the COVID-19 Crisis 2020-06-02 .txt text/plain 4690 246 41 5 Regarding surgical management of otolaryngologic cases, it is recommended that patient COVID-19 status be determined ahead of surgery, that high-risk operations be performed in negativepressure operating rooms with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by all staff, and that only essential staff be in the operating room for intubation and extubation. Immediately following the present study period of data collection (March 18-April 8, 2020), with the increasing availability of PPE, OHNS departments across all 3 centers developed standardized protocols for universal use of aerosol-protective PPE for all AGPs, regardless of the patient's COVID-19 status. From the experience of OHNS departments at pediatric and adult academic medical centers, we identified availability of rapid COVID-19 testing and adequate aerosol-protective PPE to be significant limitations to operationalizing society recommendations. ./cache/cord-335704-qejpc4x8.txt ./txt/cord-335704-qejpc4x8.txt
