Neurosurgeons and the fight with COVID-19: a position statement from the EANS Individual Membership Committee
2020
Abstract
The growing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is posing many new challenges to neurosurgeons, who have been forced to modify their working patterns by reducing/halting their elective theatres, triaging patients requiring emergency interventions, and helping out in other units such as emergency department and intensive care units. This outbreak is opening up entirely new scenarios; as such, concerns have been raised regarding the safety of patients and frontline healthcare professionals.
