ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on healthcare services worldwide. From the anesthetic point of view, some of the clinical challenges are the high patient risk of pulmonary complications during the perioperative period and the risk of infection of healthcare personnel due to airway and aerosol handling. We describe the anesthetic management of an oncological patient with positive PCR for COVID-19 who wished to preserve her fertility before starting adjuvant oncological treatment and that, according to the protocols established at the time of the case, non-urgent interventions should be delayed until the PCR was negative, which would lead to delaying the intervention without being able to start medical treatment for the tumor process, choosing the most reliable anesthetic technique to avoid complications for the patient and the health personnel.
