The COVID-19 pandemic is highly challenging for the operating room staff and
healthcare workers in emergency departments. SARS-CoV-2 is a positive-sense
single-stranded RNA beta-coronavirus that primarily targets the human respiratory
system, with fever, cough, myalgia, and pneumonia as the most common
manifestations. However, since SARS-CoV-2 RNA was detected in stool specimens
much more attention has been paid to gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of
appetite, nausea, and diarrhea. Furthermore, the expression of ACE-2 receptors in
absorptive enterocytes from ileum and colon suggests that these organs should
also be considered as a potential high risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection. During
aerosol-generating medical procedures (AGMP; e.g. intubating and extubating
patients or any surgical procedures), the production of both airborne particles
and droplets may increase the risk of infection. In this situation, the surgical
staff is strongly recommended to wear personal protective equipment (PPE). A
transparent plastic cube, the so-called "Aerosol Box" (AB), has been recently
designed to lend further protection against droplets and aerosol exposure during
the AGMP.
