CONCLUSION
The use of 2 horizontal anaesthetic screens and a sheet of clear sterile
plastic drape effectively creates a closed sterile environment for the
surgeon to perform AGP on all unknown, suspected and confirmed COVID-19
patients, whilst minimising the chance of droplet contamination and
viral transmission to health care providers. Such a set-up is
functional, readily available and cost effective. PPE such as face
shield can be conserved. The aforementioned approach should be
considered to support safe clinical practice and efficient use of
resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
