Research and COVID-19: Losing momentum every now and then

© 2021 Indian Journal of Anaesthesia | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has thrown numerous challenges to the medical fraternity, has crippled a lot of clinical work and has put brakes on advancements in the medical arena during this current pandemic. COVID-19 made us revamp our ways of living, our peri-operative management system, our operation theatres and our systems of clinical functioning.[1,2] It has without doubt made us revamp our research structure too.
