Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Ambulatory and Operating Room Rhinology Practice in the US.

Enhanced PPE is being used in only half of potentially aerosolizing procedures which represents an area of further education. Novel approaches such as use of virtual encounters and point of care testing should be considered as options to facilitate care.
