- Abstract
- The COVID‐19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, SARS‐CoV‐2, is disrupting global health and the economy to a degree unparalleled in modern history. In addition to the reduction in visits for routine and preventative health care and decline in emergency room visits, hospital systems are suffering from the collateral damage of near‐universal cancellation of elective surgeries. The mobilization of surgical resources for emergencies, use of operating rooms as intensive care units and anesthesia machines as ventilators, redeployment of operating room personnel for patient and provider safety have com-promised the delivery of necessary surgery.
