Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the SARS Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has affected over 200 countries worldwide. First case of COVID-19 wasfound in Wuhan, China, precisely around December 2019. COVID-19, especially in thosewith underlying health conditions or comorbidities, has an increasingly rapid and severeprogression, often leading to death. This virus is a single-strand RNA coronavirus, binding the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor which enters human cells. Coronavirusdisease has been reported to affect cardiac and vascular organs. cardiomyocyte death andinflammation are results of a direct mechanism that involves viral infiltration into myocardialtissue. Some cardiovascular manifestations of myocardial injuries associated with COVID-19are arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and elevated biomarkers (cardiactroponin I and brain-type natriuretic peptide). Some of this manifestation requires immediate intervention or surgery. Criteria are needed for hospitals or institutions that mostly maintain cardiac surgery services and surgery-urgent patients depending on severity of the disease and hospital resources. These criteria also limit the risk of exposure to patients and healthcare workers and allocate resources appropriately to those in greatest need. This paper aims to share our discussion and give an overview of patients undergoing cardiac surgery, providing clinicians with recommendations to triage and plan these procedures during the COVID-19 outbreak effectively.

Abstract

A novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak began in Wuhan, Hubei Province, in December 2019. It has spread rapidly from China to worldwide. The COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 posed a historic challenge to health care systems around the world, healthcare systems needed to consider providing clinical services to other patients in need. The specialty of general thoracic surgery includes the management of serious diseases such as chest wall congenital anomaly, lung cancers, esophageal cancers, mediastinal tumor, chest wall infection, and trauma. Thoracic surgery is one of high risk procedure in this pandemic, however, a high level of evidence supports the surgical management of potential patients with thoracic disease and anomaly is still lacking. Critical determinants of robust thoracic surgery service provision are pre-existing plans for epidemic response. "Flatten the curve" as an aggressive action is needed. Prioritizations of thoracic surgery cases are needed to differ between elective and emergency cases to limit any contamination. Before surgery, important pre-operative assessments were conducted aims to identify patients' high risk and adjust the procedure. example of a recommendation, if urgent / emergency surgery with symptoms clear clinical pneumonia or rapid test (+). The lessons learned can apply to the other areas during this pandemic, and the world, in preparation for the next one.
