Abstract

In the light of the spread of COVID-19, the anesthesiology services has been challenged with an urgent need to ensure safety of the practicing professionals. Suggesting no manipulations on face-to-face contacts, regional anesthesia has proved to be the most appropriate method of anesthesia in the situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. The review outlines indications for recommending regional anesthesia to patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and offers safety rules of its conduction. Any detailed and substantiated treatment plan for the patient category under discussion shall enable not only the recovery of the patient, but also the safety of the medical workers.
