1. Introduction / History

The world is being attacked by the rapidly expanding severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus-2 (SARS-Cov-2) epidemic, which is exacerbating an economic crisis. SARS-Cov-2
is the cause of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Anaesthetists are at risk for
contracting a virus while doing their regular duties because they frequently come into
touch with respiratory droplets.

All nations have put protective and preventive measures in place, forcing people to spend
more time at home. A Brazilian study discovered that during the COVID-19 pandemic period,
spending more time at home increased exposure to sanitizing products, which include
ethanol and hydrogen peroxides that can cause burn injuries.

Aim of our Study:

Our goal is to determine the risk factors that influence length of hospital stay (LOS) of
burn injured patients during COVID -19 pandemic.

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients who had the burn graft surgery at Al Wakrah Hospital; Hamad Medical Corporation
between from 1st of April to end of November 2020. Planned number will include all
COVID-19 positive and negative subjects in this period.

Data Source The electronic medical record (Cerner) used in order to identify patients who
match study defined criteria. The investigators can Collect data directly from Cerner to
excel sheet

Variable Abstraction Patient demographic and clinical data will be collected including
age, morbidities, presenting symptoms, physical examination, laboratory investigations,
intraoperative data, type of surgery, postoperative course, survival, and length of
hospital stay and follow up.

In addition, the type of anesthesia is also included as factor for further complications
ex general anesthesia, spinal or combined spinal epidural type.

Observation full reviewing of their medical illness and chart laboratory and
investigations will be collected after getting approval of MRC and IRB committee.
