In order to recognize major difficulties and options to bringing successful surgical services as throughout COVID-19 pandemic, focus group interviews remained undertaken with surgeons and anesthetists having direct experience of dealing throughout outbreaks of infectious diseases.
Results: The scoping search yielded fourteen papers, and surgeons and anesthetists from 13 different countries were questioned. The epidemic action plan for surgical services must remain prepared in advance to mount an effective reaction to COVID-19. Facility of staff training (including such care transitions, donning and doffing protective clothing, and acknowledging and able to manage COVID-19 illness); support for the hospital inpatient reply to COVID-19 (reduction in non-urgent operations like treatment facilities, endoscopy, and non-urgent elective surgery); development of the team-founded method for running ambulance service; also acknowledgment and strategic planning of COVID-19 disease in people are important areas that are included. The backlog of operations following conclusion of COVID-19 epidemic is unavoidable, also hospitals must prepare how to deal with it efficiently so that people undergoing elective therapy get the ideal outcomes.
Conclusion: Hospitals must develop thorough context-specific epidemic contingency strategies that address the topics outlined. Clear criteria must be revised on a regular basis to reflect fresh information as during COVID-19 epidemic.
