Track: Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on trauma surgery, influencing not only the clinical approach to patient care but also the operational and ethical considerations of surgical practice. This session will address the unique challenges faced by trauma surgeons during the pandemic, from infection control measures to the management of delayed surgeries, and how the pandemic has reshaped trauma care globally.

Trauma Surgery in the Era of COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges, as hospitals were overwhelmed with COVID-19 cases, leading to limited resources and altered surgical priorities. This segment will explore how trauma surgeons adapted to the situation, balancing the immediate need for trauma surgery with the safety measures required to prevent viral transmission. It will also examine the development of new protocols for surgery during a global health crisis.

COVID-19 and Surgical Outcomes in Trauma Patients, the impact of COVID-19 on surgical outcomes in trauma patients has been significant, with studies showing increased complications and mortality rates among those infected with the virus. This session will analyze the effects of COVID-19 on trauma patients' recovery, including the challenges of managing patients with both traumatic injuries and COVID-19, and the long-term outcomes of such complex cases. Emphasis will be placed on understanding these effects to improve future care.

Infection Control and Surgical Safety has become even more critical during the pandemic, especially in trauma surgery, where patients are at risk for both surgical site infections and viral transmission. This segment will focus on the stringent infection control practices adopted during the pandemic, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), sterilization procedures, and protocols for managing COVID-19 positive trauma patients in a safe surgical environment. The importance of maintaining high standards of surgical safety will be highlighted.

Postoperative Care During COVID-19 in trauma surgery has also been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, with challenges such as limited visitation, delayed recovery times, and the need for specialized care for COVID-positive patients. This session will discuss how postoperative care was adjusted to ensure the safety and well-being of trauma patients, including the management of pain, wound care, and rehabilitation, while adhering to COVID-19 protocols.

Delayed Trauma Surgeries and Impact on Patient Health, the pandemic led to delays in elective and urgent surgeries, with trauma surgeries being postponed due to overwhelmed healthcare systems. This segment will explore the consequences of these delays on patient health, including worsened outcomes, complications, and prolonged recovery times. The impact on long-term trauma care and how healthcare systems are working to mitigate these delays will also be discussed.

Ethical Considerations in Trauma Surgery During a Pandemic, the ethical dilemmas posed by the COVID-19 pandemic in trauma surgery are significant, particularly regarding resource allocation, decision-making in the triage of patients, and balancing the needs of trauma patients with those of critically ill COVID-19 patients. This session will examine the ethical challenges faced by trauma surgeons and healthcare professionals during the pandemic, including the difficult decisions made regarding who should receive surgery or ICU care.

Future Preparedness for Global Health Crises the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for better preparedness in healthcare systems for global health crises. This segment will explore how trauma surgery can adapt to future pandemics or global health emergencies, focusing on strategies to ensure surgical safety, maintain quality care under crisis conditions, and improve resource allocation. The goal is to learn from the experiences of the pandemic to create more resilient healthcare systems for the future.
