    Abstract Our professional and private lives changed on March 11 2020 when the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the WHO. By March 16, surgical training was suspended, MRCS and FRCS examinations cancelled and all courses postponed. In theory, essential cancer surgery, emergency and trauma operating will continue. All elective, non-essential cases are currently cancelled. While we adapt to our new ways of working, we remind ourselves that surgeons are flexible, resilient and, ultimately, we are doctors in the first instance. We present a short article on operating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Abstract On 30 January 2020, the WHO declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a public health emergency of international concern. By 11 March 2020, it was designated a pandemic owing to its rapid worldwide spread. In this short article we provide some information that might be useful and help equip colleagues to reduce medical error during a pandemic. We advocate a systems-based approach, rather than an individual's sole responsibility, and, look at ways to provide safer healthcare.

    Abstract Introduction: Catastrophic hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable trauma deaths in the military and civilian populations. The use of tourniquets by first responders (medical and nonmedically trained) is supported and has the potential to save lives if applied correctly.
    Aims: We sought to examine the use of 5 tourniquets: 1 improvised and 4 commercially available tourniquets to investigate the time taken to stop simulated bleeding and to secure the device; evidence of rebleeding when the "blood pressure" was restored and to gain qualitative feedback on their application.
    Materials and methods: Four commercially available tourniquets (Combat Application Tourniquet [C-A-T], Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet - Wide (SOFTT-W), stretch, wrap, and tuck tourniquet [SWAT-T], and the Tourni-key) and an improvised tourniquet (tie & wooden spoon) were tested on a complex silicone simulation model used to replicate catastrophic hemorrhage from a blast injury with above traumatic knee amputation (SAM 4.1 Trauma Simulation Ltd, UK). To limit the user variability, the same investigator applied each tourniquet and each was tested 3 times. No ethical approval was required to conduct this study.
    Results: None of the devices took longer than 1 minute to secure. The C-A-T and SOFTT-W were quickest to occlude and secure. Although the Tourni-key took longer statistically, this was unlikely to be a clinically important difference. Compared to the others, the SOFTT-W rebled on 2 out of 3 applications. The improvised tourniquet had an obvious ligature effect because of its narrowness, followed by the Tourni-key. This effect was least evident with the SWAT-T; however, particular care was needed to ensure it was safely secured as it was slippery when wet.
    Conclusions: All tourniquets tested were effective and swift to apply. The Tourni-key's antipinch card seems helpful in reducing local pain under the windlass. Reinspection for rebleeding is important and should be routinely performed irrespective of the device. The width of the SWAT-T may be beneficial, thereby, reducing the risk of crush injury.
