Abstract

The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 was first detected in Wuhan City, and from there it is become a pandemic and global health threat. In the time of pandemic, Cardiac surgery in nearly all cardiac centers all over the world was only confined to emergency cases. Dealing with a patient infected with this highly contagious disease is a great risk, and anesthesiologists are at a higher risk of becoming infected because of their close contact with infected patients, and when these patients are urgently in need for a lengthy difficult procedure, the risk will be at its maximum. The challenge of the anesthetic team while dealing with these patients is more difficult than we expected; so, the authors wanted to record their management and their experience with these patients.
