Amaç: Dünya Saðlýk Örgütü 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde, yeni koronavirüsü (COVID-19) küresel bir salgýn olarak ilan etti. Bu çalýþma, anesteziyoloji ve reanimasyon hekimlerinin pandemi döneminde Türkiye Cumhuri-yeti Saðlýk Bakanlýðý tarafýndan yayýnlanan anesteziyoloji uygulama-larýna iliþkin bilgilerini, Türkiye'deki farkýndalýklarýný deðerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadýr.
Yöntem: Tanýmlayýcý kesitsel tipteki bu çalýþmaya, Türk Anesteziyoloji ve Reanimasyon Derneði üyesi 2834 anestezi uzmaný hekim dahil edilmiþ-tir. Veriler, ulusal ve yerel etik kurul onayýndan sonra SurveyMonkey (San Mateo, CA) web sitesi tarafýndan hazýrlanan bir anket formu kullanýlarak sekiz hafta boyunca çevrimiçi olarak toplanmýþtýr.
Bulgular: Çalýþmaya 332 hekim (araþtýrma görevlileri ve uzman he-kimler) dahil edilmiþtir. 18 katýlýmcý sadece onam verdiði ve sorularý yanýtlamadýðý için çalýþmadan çýkarýldý. Katýlýmcýlarýn pandemi döne-minde korunma olanaklarýna iliþkin farkýndalýk düzeylerinin yüksek, ameliyathaneye hazýrlýk ve vaka yönetimine iliþkin farkýndalýk düzeyle-rinin düþük, normalleþme sürecini anlama düzeylerinin yüksek olduðu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Anesteziyoloji ve reanimasyon doktorlarý, COVID-19 perioperatif yönetimi konusunda orta düzeyde bir anlayýþa ve farkýndalýða sahipti. Hekimlerin kiþisel koruyucu ekipman (KKE), ekipman dezenfeksiyon protokolü ve genel anestezi için algoritmalar konusunda yetersiz bil-giye sahip olduklarý gözlemlendi. Güncel bilgilere eriþimin daha kolay olduðu günümüzde, COVID-19 pandemisini yöneten anesteziyoloji ve reanimasyon hekimleri arasýnda bilgi ve farkýndalýðýn en üst düzeyde tu-tulmasý, eðitimlerin sürekliliðinin saðlanmasý, ekip üyelerine aktarýlmasý ve taþýnmasý kritik önem taþýmaktadýr.

Objectives: On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as a global epidemic. This study aims to assess anesthesiology and reanimation physicians’ knowl-edge of the anesthesiology practices published by the Turkish Republic Ministry of Health during pandemic period, their awareness in Turkey.
Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study included 2834 anes-thesiologist physicians who are members of Turkish Society of Anesthe-siology and Reanimation. Data were collected online over 8 weeks using a questionnaire form by SurveyMonkey (San Mateo, CA) website after national and local ethics committee approval.
Results: The study included 332 physicians (research associates and spe-cialist physicians). Eighteen participants were excluded from the study since they merely gave their consent and did not respond to the questions. It was determined that participants’ level of awareness about the possi-bilities of protection during the pandemic period was high, a low level of awareness about preparation for the operating room and case manage-ment, and a high level of understanding about the normalization period.
Conclusion: Anesthesiology and reanimation physicians had a mod-erate understanding and awareness of COVID-19 perioperative man-agement. Physicians were observed to have inadequate knowledge of algorithms for personal protective equipment, equipment disinfection protocol, and general anesthesia. In this era of easier access to the cur-rent information, it is critical to maintaining the highest level of knowl-edge and awareness among anesthesiology and reanimation physi-cians who manage the COVID-19 pandemic, to ensure the continuity of training to transfer them to team members, and to carry out procedures following the recommendations.
