Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic is spreading globally. COVID-19 has an effect on the systemic state, cardiopulmonary function and primary disease of patients undergoing surgery. COVID-19's high contagiousness makes anesthesia and intraoperative management more difficult. This expert consensus aims to comprehensively introduce the application of perioperative ultrasound in COVID-19 patients, including pulmonary ultrasound and anesthesia management, ultrasound and airway management, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and echocardiography for COVID-19 patients.
