- Abstract
The Saudi Anesthesia Society (SAS) has developed interim guidelines on perioperative care of COVID‑19 patients who undergo surgery and anesthesia. [1] Patients with “suspected/confirmed” COVID‑19 might be scheduled for emergency thoracic procedures either during the acute or convalescence phases of the disease. There is a demanding need to develop the SAS recommendations on the perioperative care of thoracic surgery patients during the COVID‑19 outbreak. There are no relevant publications on perioperative care of thoracic surgery in COVID‑19 patients. These recommendations were developed from the previous experience of management of patients during the MERS‑CoV outbreak in 2012‑2013 and literature available on the general airway and anesthesia care for patients with COVID‑19, SARS, MERS‑CoV.
