No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The first case of COVID-19 was identified on December 19 and the world is actually experiencing a pandemic. The surgical procedure in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection involves the exposure of other patients and the group of health workers who face the care of the patient. Thus, screening with lung ultrasound is an alternative to identify patients with an established or suspected infection that requires urgent surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determinate the operational characteristics of lung ultrasound during the screening process for SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with an indication for urgent surgery.
