Postoperative complications and related risk factors in COVID-19 patients

doi:10.16352/j.issn.1001-6325.2024.03.0408

Abstract

Abstract: The incidence of postoperative multi-system complications, such as pulmonary complications and sepsis, as well as mortality of patients with COVID-19. Therefore, patients with COVID-19 should be fully recovered before elective surgery and a minimum of 7 weeks recovery time is routinely recommen-ded. At the same time, the occurrence of adverse outcomes such as postoperative complications in patients with COVID-19 should be considered in a multidimensional manner, taking into account the related risk factors such as age, severity of the disease, type of surgery, anesthesia method, underlying comorbidities, type of viral strain, vaccination status and other related risk factors.

Key words: SARS-CoV-2 infection, timing of elective surgery, postoperative complication
