The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated cancelation of elective or nonurgent
contact with the healthcare system, including nonurgent nerve conduction studies
and electromyography (electrodiagnostic [EDX] studies). The definitions of
elective and nonurgent are physician judgments, and often are not
straightforward. Clinical care must be provided to help our patients in a timely
manner, while keeping them, healthcare personnel, and the community safe.
Benefit/risk stratification is an important part of this process. We have
stratified EDX studies into three categories: Urgent, Non-urgent, and Possibly
Urgent, in an effort to help clinicians triage these referrals. For each
category, we provide a rationale and some examples. However, each referral must
be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and the clinical situation will evolve over
time, necessitating flexibility in managing EDX triaging. Engaging the referring
clinician and, at times, the patient, may be useful in the triage process.
