Protection protocols involving ear, nose and throat patients during COVID-19
The COVID-19 (https://www.mayoclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19) virus spreads through respiratory droplets. This means treating patients who have diseases or injuries involving the ears, nose or throat, or the head and neck, requires particular precautions. "COVID-19 taught us all to be more nimble," says Dr. Devyani Lal (https://www.mayoclinic.org/biographies/lal-devyani-m-d/bio-20055402), a Mayo Clinic otolaryngologist and head and neck surgeon. She says the COVID-19 pandemic required Mayo Clinic's Department of Otolaryngology (https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/ent-head-neck-surgery/sections/overview/ovc-20424084) to pivot quickly and require that patients be tested for COVID-19 before appointments. In this Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Lal explains more about COVID-19 safety measures that have been implemented and encourages not to delay treatment. She also details how extensive the otolaryngology practice is at Mayo Clinic.
