The risk of postoperative complications following major elective surgery in active or resolved COVID-19 in the United States – Major, elective surgery 0–4 weeks after Covid-19 is associated with greatly increased risk of postoperative complications; surgery performed 4–8 weeks after infection is still associated with an increased risk of pneumonia.

The Risk of Postoperative Complications following Major Elective Surgery in Active or Resolved COVID-19 in the United States – Annals of Surgery

Guideline: SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, COVID‐19 and timing of elective surgery

Study from 116 countries suggests surgery should be delayed for at least seven weeks following a COVID-19 diagnosis to reduce mortality risk

ASA Guidance: Preoperative testing for COVID-19 is essential, regardless of vaccination.

Position statement: Perioperative management of post-COVID-19 surgical patients.

Cohort study: Postoperative in-hospital mortality of patients with COVID-19 infection was more than double that in patients without COVID-19

Observational study in patients with stroke with large-vessel occlusion presenting in the extended window suggests non-contrast CT is as good as CT perfusion or MRI to select patients for thrombectomy.

Noncontrast Computed Tomography vs Computed Tomography Perfusion or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Selection in Late Presentation of Stroke With Large-Vessel Occlusion – JAMA Neurology

Commentary: Noncontrast CT a cost-friendly alternative to select late-stroke patients for thrombectomy – Health Imaging

Commentary on Twitter

Don’t have CTP worry not! No MRI/MRP worry not! Good old non-contrast CTH performs just as well for pt selection! But I do like those colored CBF, CBV, MTT maps & don’t like the errors in image processing! This will inc access to late thrombectomy #NoELVOleftbehind @almuftifawaz https://t.co/vBv5y2IDjT

M-A: In patients with anterior circulation acute stroke and evidence of reversible cerebral ischemia across the 6–24 h time window, thrombectomy was associated with higher rates of independence in activities of daily living at 90 days than best medical therapy alone.

Clinical trial found the rate of near-total or total reperfusion at the end of the endovascular procedure was not significantly different for patients receiving thrombectomy with contact aspiration and stent retriever combined vs stent retriever alone https://t.co/SQTEnysFBG
