Suggestions for triage and surgery strategies for maxillofacial trauma during COVID-19 outbreak

Abstract

Maxillofacial traumas can be accompanied by other traumas, while it can be presented in isolation. In patients with pure trauma, maxillofacial surgery is directly related to the risk of high COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission, and the decision of surgery during the pandemic process should be given carefully. In the pandemic process, only performing actual maxillofacial emergency surgeries and postponing elective surgeries would reduce the likelihood for both the patient and medical personnel to be infected with this directly aerosol-transmitted agent. In this period when we are facing a global problem, it is important to protect health care personnel from this factor as well as patients.
