头部和颈部检查通常由所有医生进行。在由SARS-CoV-2病毒引起的COVID-19大流行的时代，上呼吸道的病毒载量很高，必须谨慎对待上呼吸消化道的这些检查和程序。基于SARS-CoV-1的经验和证据以及SARS-CoV-2的早期经验，我们提供了在头颈部检查、上气道内窥镜检查和头颈部粘膜手术（包括气管切开术）中降低传播风险的观点和指导。
Head and neck examinations are commonly performed by all physicians. In the era of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has a high viral load in the upper airways, these examinations and procedures of the upper aerodigestive tract must be approached with caution. Based on experience and evidence from SARS-CoV-1 and early experience with SARS-CoV-2, we provide our perspective and guidance on mitigating transmission risk during head and neck examination, upper airway endoscopy, and head and neck mucosal surgery including tracheostomy.
