MOORE-PEREA, John H.  e  MOORE-CANADAS, José T.. Elective surgery in non-COVID organizations during the pandemic. rev. colomb. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.35, n.3, pp.378-390.  Epub 07-Fev-2021. ISSN 2011-7582.  https://doi.org/10.30944/20117582.753.

This is a prospective, observational study with the objective of quantifying the risk posed by elective surgery in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We present the experience accumulated over three months at the IPS Ambulatory Surgery Center (Bogotá, DC, Colombia), suitable for the care of non-COVID-19 patients, analyzing information collected in 667 patients, with low anesthetic risk, taken to surgery of medium complexity. Our results define that it is safe to intervene in this type of patient, that it does not increase the risk of presenting complications or the risk of contagion for patients or health care professionals.
