Abstract

Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19), which emerged in China in December 2019, was announced by the World Health Organization as a pandemic in March 2020. Many institutions and organizations in the world and Turkey have made recommendations on measures that will protect both medical personnel and the patient in cases requiring emergency or elective surgery in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 and are still continuing to update their recommendations. In this article, we planned to convey our experiences regarding anesthesia and operating room practices that we carried out in line with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health Science Committee and other important health institutions in the world during this extraordinary period we passed.
