There is one clinical trial.
This study aims at answering the question if aerosols from laparoscopic or open abdominal surgery contain SARS-CoV-2 virus and need to be considered contagious.
Description: The primary outcome will be SARS-COV-2 RNA detection in filter systems for surgical aerosols in laparoscopic surgery (YES/NO). If viral RNA can be detected, the aerosols should be considered contagious, and therefore the debate on protective measures for the surgical staff in case of emergency surgery and possibly delaying any urgent surgery to protect surgical teams would be reasonable. If viral RNA cannot be detected, the aerosols do not need to be considered contagious for SARS-CoV-2, and CoVID-19 patients could safely be considered for laparoscopic and open abdominal surgery if indicated.
Measure: SARS-COV-2 RNA detection Time: Up to 12 monthsDescription: Viral contamination of peritoneal cavity and fluid in laparoscopic cases (YES/NO)
Measure: Viral contamination of peritoneal cavity and fluid Time: Up to 12 monthsDescription: Viral contamination of peritoneal cavity and fluid in open cases (YES/NO)
Measure: Viral contamination of peritoneal cavity and fluid in open cases Time: Up to 12 monthsDescription: Viral infection of members of the surgical team (YES/NO)
Measure: Viral infection of members of the surgical team Time: Up to 12 months
