Conclusion
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is rapidly evolving with continuous updates in treatment and guidelines.  At the time of writing, there were over 492,000 cases in the United States with almost 19,000 deaths12. The management algorithm recommended by our multidisciplinary team draws on experiences with the 2002-3 SARS epidemic and the current experience of surgeons, anesthesiologists, Intensivists and other healthcare workers with SARS-CoV-2. The goals of these recommendations are to provide optimal patient care, protection of medical personnel, minimizing further spread of the virus and preservation of important resources (ICU beds , ventilators and PPE).
