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.
