Popis:	Splenic injuries are amongst the most frequent trauma-related injuries which requires emergency surgeries demanding meticulous surgical and anesthetic management. The aim while managing splenic trauma patients, is to restore homeostasis and normal pathophysiology in the body by achieving hemostasis with an emergency splenectomy. To date, there have been few reports describing the anaesthetic management of COVID-19 patients presenting for emergency surgery. In this article, we outline the anaesthetic management for a case with hemoperitoneum, posted for emergency exploratory laparotomy and splenectomy in our operating theatre who was incidentally diagnosed to be COVID positive in the emergency unit by a rapid antigen test. Keywords: COVID 19, Splenectomy.
