COVID-19 Pneumonia
Conditions
Brief summary
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes a highly contagious infection with the highest viral load in the upper respiratory secretions. Despite using personal protective equipment, SARS-CoV-2 contamination to the healthcare personnel is possible during the airway management of infected patients. Direct laryngoscopy remains as the most common method for endotracheal intubation. Our study aimed to compare the use of video laryngoscopy with direct laryngoscopy for tracheal intubation in adult patients receiving general anesthesia for elective surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic.
