Abstract

Covid-19 has officially declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.? Various societies around the world have given their recommendation for the safe conduct of anesthesia and surgery during the pandemic, but little has been discussed regarding the various positions of surgery and their implications. We report our experience of managing a COVID suspect patient in an emergency operation theater in a prone position.
