By April 11, 2020, 1,610,909 COVID-19 cases have been reported globally, causing 99,691 confirmed deaths (www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019).

Abstract
By April 11, 2020, 1,610,909 COVID-19 cases have been reported globally, causing 99,691 confirmed deaths (www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019). The government imposed a lockdown and all health-care institutions are taking precautions individually (Iacbucci, 2020). ASUGI, our health-care institution, suspended all elective and non-oncologic surgical procedures. For this reason, the plastic and reconstructive surgery unit is screening pre-operatively all patients, candidates for non-deferred surgery; this screening consists of: swab for COVID-19 infection, physical examination, temperature assessment, chest X-ray, ECG, blood chemistry tests, recent history of respiratory symptoms, GI symptoms, headache.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
