During the COVID-19 outbreak, activities in the rhinology outpatient clinic and operation rooms are limited to emergency care only. Health care practitioners are faced with the need to perform rhinological and skull base emergency procedures in patients with a positive or unknown COVID-19 status.This article aims to provide recommendations and relevant information for rhinologists, based on the limited amount of (anecdotal) data, to guarantee high-quality patient care and adequate levels of infection prevention in the rhinology clinic. | Keywords: | SARS-CoV-2;COVID-19;personal protective equipment;rhinology;skull base surgery;infection prevention;endoscopic surgery | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/37694 | ISSN: | 0300-0729 | e-ISSN: | 0300-0729 | DOI: | 10.4193/rhin20.119 | ISI #: | 000562561300015 | Category: | A1 | Type: | Journal Contribution |
