Abstract :
During current COVID-19 pandemic, anaesthesiologists should modify their practices and take high precautions. Anaesthetist should reduce their exposure to respiratory secretions and risk of perioperative transmission. In this article we explore the practical considerations, concerns for anaesthesiologist and measures recommended for conducting safe anaesthesia. We also emphasise on ensuring safety of healthcare workers, protection of equipment, and prevention of infection. We tried to illustrate the importance of infection control practices in anaesthesia. A proper plan of anaesthesia for management of COVID-19 patients will result in the best possible outcome for both healthcare workers and patients.
