Abstrakt: Aims & Objectives: The objectives of this study was to discuss creating a hospital model in restarting cardiovascular surgery during Corona Virus disease-2019 (COVID 19) pandemic and to retrospectively analyze the early outcomes of patient operated during the study period under the modified policies of patient and hospital management. Methods: a modified model of hospital and patient management was created in the department of Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery, GB Pant Hospital during the national lockdown for COVID-19. Patients admitted and undergoing cardiovascular surgery in between 01-06-2020 and 30-11-2020 were retrospectively analyzed on various parameters to evaluate efficacy of this modified model. Results: Total 435 patients were admitted during study period, out of them 277 were operated. Valve replacement was the most common surgery performed in almost 60% of patients. There were total 30 mortalities in the admitted patients two being COVID positive mortality. None of the COVID negative patient who got operated, developed influenza like illness (ILI symptoms) till discharge. Total 20 health care workers including doctors, nursing staff, and auxiliary staff turned COVID positive during this study period.
