IMPORTANCE: Anatomically, viral density is greater in the nasal cavity and the
nasopharynx. It is to be expected that instrumentation in or through those areas
will entail a higher risk of transmission. That's why head and neck and
otolaryngologist surgeons are among the most vulnerable health professionals.
OBSERVATIONS: Surgeons should essentially perform procedures they require.
Surgeries should be performed with personal protective equipment suitable for the
high risk of aerosolization: goggles, N95 face mask, facial mask, blood-repelling
gown and gloves. It is advisable to have the cooperative COVID-19 test in all
patients. Telemedicine is a useful resource if resources allow it. CONCLUSIONS
AND RELEVANCE: Otolaryngologists and related specialists are among the groups at
higher risk when performing surgeries and upper airway examinations. There are no
emergencies in a pandemic. The care of health professionals is crucial to
combating this health situation.
