ABSTRACT
The combined effect of close contact between child patients and otorhinolaryngologists, as well as the practice of aerosol-generating procedures, justify the need to take prompt organizational measures to reduce risks in the provision of pediatric otorhinolaryngological care in conditions of increased biological risks. In the pediatric ENT community, these adaptations have resulted in: judicious distribution of care to treat the most severe conditions, minimizing the risk of long-term consequences, ensuring the safety of child patients and healthcare workers through better communication methods, changing procedural precautions, the rapid introduction of telemedicine for diagnosis and treatment of patients, as well as the development of protective protocols to limit exposure to aerosol-generating procedures or manipulations to reduce the risk of exposure to a high viral load.
