Anahtar Kelimeler:Covid 19 pandemic,Otorhinolaryngology practice,Current recommendations

Özet: Covid 19 pandemic has taken the world like a storm, sweeping all countries across the globe. We are flooded with new revelations about the virus characteristics, morbidity and mortality statistics especially of the health care workers. More than six months have passed and we still have no definite treatment. These factors are affecting our medical practices in an unprecedented manner. This is a web based survey from 144 practicing otorhinolaryngologists to ascertain some of the aspects in which this pandemic has affected our practice. Majority are following protective protocols, not delaying tracheostomy or emergencies. They are avoiding aerosol generating procedures, endoscopies, prolonged surgeries, as well as oncosurgeries. Patients have decreased but covid phobia patients have increased. There is a lot of scope of improvement with regards to teleconsultations, training for donning and doffing of PPE
