Welcome to the next installment of the Anesthesia Patient Safety podcast hosted by Alli Bechtel.  This podcast is an exciting journey towards improved anesthesia patient safety. Join us today as we review the latest recommendations from the APSF and the ASA on the timing for elective surgery for patients following infection with COVID-19 to help minimize postoperative complications and keep patients safe. Tune in to hear answers to some of the following questions: Is the patient still infectious? What is the appropriate length of time to wait between recovery from COVID and surgery in terms of the risk to the patient for perioperative complications?Is repeat testing necessary?© 2022, The Anesthesia Patient Safety FoundationFor show notes & transcript, visit our episode page at apsf.org: https://www.apsf.org/podcast/87-timing-for-surgery-following-covid-19-infection-and-postoperative-complications/
