Abstract

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has put 
unprecedented challenges on the medical community. Otorhinolaryngological 
procedures are associated with very high risk of transmission of the virus due to 
aerosol generation. Management of ENT emergencies due to foreign bodies 
during ongoing COVID-19 was challenging. This is a prospective study done in 
our tertiary care centre from June 2020 to December 2020, during COVID-19 
pandemic. The challenges encountered in the management of these cases, 
precautions taken and protocols followed are being discussed.
