ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 pandemic that began in December 2019 and is still underway in 2022 has changed many habits and protocols in different economic industries including healthcare. In the specific case, the change in protocols and management of work activities also affected the health sector. Among the sectors in which the pandemic has influenced the flow of events is the cardiology sector. In the specific case, the present work will present how coronary bypass interventions have been influenced in their different aspects by the Covid-19 pandemic. The work will be based on a comparison between the 2019 data in the period prior to the pandemic and in 2020 in the post-pandemic period for two major public hospitals in the Campania region: The university hospital of Salerno (Italy) "San Giovanni di Dio and Ruggi D'Aragona"and AORN "A. Cardarelli "of Naples (Italy). Both the structures considered have an Emergency Department and First Aid Acceptance for surgical pathologies. © 2022 ACM.
