Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast will be an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety.

Today on the show I return to the Novel Coronavirus Resource Center and talk about, “An Update on the Perioperative Considerations for COVID-19 Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)” by Zucco and colleagues. I cover viral transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and safety considerations for healthcare providers in the operating room and during airway manipulation as well as preoperative testing options depending on local or regional disease presence.
