Pre-Operative Testing Requirements – UPDATE
With widespread COVID-19 transmission in the community, we are seeing increased test positivity in asymptomatic patients scheduled for surgery. With current pre-op testing, positive cases are being determined the day before surgery, resulting in the case being cancelled and the operating room (OR) resource unused. To limit the number of cancelled cases during this period of high COVID-19 activity, an altered testing plan is being implemented to limit risk to patients and staff while maintaining optimum use of available OR resources. covid-19-pre-op-testing-faq.pdf (sharedhealthmb.ca)
