Abstract

Aerosol-generating procedures COVID-19 Laryngeal surgery Laryngology Laryngoscopy SARS-CoV-2
In 2019, the emergence of the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus in Wuhan, China transformed society and caused major changes in medical care. Efforts to implement protocols to keep providers and their staffs safe during care of all patients ensued. Within the field of laryngology, the risk of aerosol generation and viral spread was among the highest in medicine. It is important to understand the impact of COVID-19 on presurgical and surgical laryngoscopic care as well as the evolution of knowledge that led to our current practices and protocols.
