Abstract
The impact of the novel coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) has overburdened the anesthesia fraternity both physically and mentally. The academic and training schedule of the medical residents in the last year was also disrupted. Since we are in the early phase of the second peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is time to reconsider the causes of stress in anesthesia residents and methods to mitigate them. In this non-systematic review, authors have included articles from PubMed, Medline, and Google scholar with keywords “identify strategies” “preventing and treating psychological disorders,” and “medical students” from year 2010 onwards were included. Apart from these keywords, we have included the coping strategies and early psychiatric consultation methods. This review article aims at early identification, workplace environment changes, and implementation of early coping strategies in anesthesia residents during this second peak of COVID-19.
