    Snippet: We are excluding symptomatic COVID19+ patients from our model because their elective surgeries would likely be postponed or canceled due to the significantly increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications if a surgical patient had a recent acute respiratory infection. 19 Thus, our elective surgery patient population only includes uninfected individuals and asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals (whose COVID-19 status would not be di.....
    Document: We are excluding symptomatic COVID19+ patients from our model because their elective surgeries would likely be postponed or canceled due to the significantly increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications if a surgical patient had a recent acute respiratory infection. 19 Thus, our elective surgery patient population only includes uninfected individuals and asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals (whose COVID-19 status would not be discovered given current testing limitations). Since COVID-19 would not be suspected in these patients, healthcare workers interacting with them typically would not use the level of personal protective equipment (PPE) or precautions necessary to prevent COVID-19 transmission, especially if there were also restrictions due to PPE shortages within the clinical institution.
