Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) infection risk during elective peri‐operative care: a narrative review	2020-07-11		.txt	text/plain	4753	279	39	Whilst none of these were anaesthetists or intensivists, 53/1718 (3.1%) healthcare workers performing or involved in tracheal intubation of patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 subsequently reported laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection [4] . Here, we review the evidence from SARS and contemporaneous data from COVID-19 to inform assessment and management of the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission to healthcare workers involved in elective peri-operative care. The WHO list of aerosol-generating procedures is based on epidemiological evidence of transmission to healthcare workers caring for SARS patients [30, [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] . The studies upon which the WHO list of aerosol-generating procedures is based do not provide any direct evidence that tracheal intubation itself increases the risk of SARS transmission.
