FERNANDEZ SOTO, José Rodrigo et al. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation in COVID-19 era, in the postoperative period. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.3, pp.387-391.  Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 1870-7203.

During the pandemic, every person in need of an emergent surgical procedure must be considered as possibly being infected by SARS-CoV-2 and receive care according to local preemptive protocols. SARS-CoV-2 ridden patients are at increased risk of adverse outcomes during the postoperative period and represent a hazard for healthcare personnel. Postoperative mortality among those contaminated with this coronavirus is estimated to be around 27.5 %. Cardiopulmonary reanimation in patients infected by this virus is considered a high risk procedure for the attending personnel in the recovery room and it is of paramount importance to establish and implement a local preventive protocol.
