Document: BACKGROUND: The Coronavirus disease—2019 (COVIDâ€19) pandemic is a global health crisis and otolaryngologists are at increased occupational risk of contracting COVIDâ€19. There are currently no uniform bestâ€practice recommendations for otolaryngologic surgery in the setting of COVIDâ€19. METHODS: We reviewed relevant publications and position statements regarding the management of otolaryngology patients in the setting of COVIDâ€19. Recommendations regarding clinical practice during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) outbreaks were also reviewed. RESULTS: Enhanced personal protective equipment (N95 respirator and face shield or powered airâ€purifying respirator, disposable cap and gown, gloves) is required for any otolaryngology patient with unknown, suspected, or positive COVIDâ€19 status. Elective procedures should be postponed indefinitely, and clinical practice should be limited to patients with urgent or emergent needs. CONCLUSION: We summarize current bestâ€practice recommendations for otolaryngologists to ensure safety for themselves, their clinical staff, and their patients.
