The Impact

Objectives The objectives of this study include characterizing the practice patterns and testing strategies of facial plastic and reconstructive surgery (FPRS) fellowship directors (FDs) secondary to COVID-19 and to quantify the impact of COVID-19 on FPRS fellowship training. Study Design Cross-sectional survey. Setting Online. Methods A survey was sent to all American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery FDs and co-FDs in September 2020. Descriptive analyses were performed. Results Of 77 eligible FDs, 45 responded (58.4%) representing a diverse group across the United States. All but 1 FD routinely screened patients for COVID-19 in the preoperative setting. FDs largely believed that universal preoperative testing was cost-effective (66.7%), improved patient safety (80.0%) and health care worker safety (95.6%), and was not burdensome for patients (53.3%). With regard to volume of cosmetic/aesthetic, reconstructive, facial nerve, and trauma surgery, FDs indicated largely no change in volume (34.9%, 71.0%, 68.4%, and 80.0%, respectively) or fellow experience (67.4%, 80.6%, 84.2%, and 80.0%). Half (50.0%) of the FDs reported decreased volume of congenital/craniofacial surgery, but 75.0% did not believe that there was a change in fellow experience. Overall, of the 15 responses indicating “worsened training” across all domains of FPRS, 14 were located in the Northeast (93.33%). Conclusions The COVID-19 pandemic has had the least impact on the volume of reconstructive procedures, facial nerve operations, and trauma surgery and a negative impact on congenital/craniofacial surgery volume, and it has accelerated the demand for cosmetic/aesthetic operations. Overall, the majority of FDs did not feel as though their fellows’ trainings would be adversely affected by the ongoing pandemic.

Object. This prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial was undertaken to assess the efficacy of aprotinin in reducing the need for blood transfusions in 39 children undergoing reconstructive craniofacial surgery. Methods. Two demographically similar groups—a total of 39 patients with a mean age of 1.2 ± 1.2 years—were studied. The efficacy of aprotinin (240 mg/m2 administered intravenously over 20 minutes, followed by infusions of 56 mg/m2/hr) was compared with that of an equal infusion of 0.9% saline (placebo). Patients in the aprotinin group received less blood per kilogram of body weight than patients in the placebo group (32 ± 25 ml/kg compared with 52 ± 34 ml/kg, respectively; p = 0.04). Those patients in whom aprotinin was administered experienced less change in their hematocrit levels during surgery (aprotinin −33 ± 13% compared with placebo −44 ± 9%, p = 0.01). Each patient underwent a transfusion as per study protocol, and there was no significant change in hematocrit levels from the beginning to the end of surgery. The surgical faculty judged blood loss in patients in the aprotinin group to be significantly less than usual (p = 0.03). The use of aprotinin was also associated with reduced blood transfusion requirements during the first 3 postoperative days (p = 0.03). There was no adverse event reported in either the aprotinin or placebo group. Conclusions. Aprotinin decreased blood transfusion requirements in pediatric patients undergoing craniofacial reconstruction, thereby reducing the risks associated with exposure to banked blood components.
