Recommendations for trauma and emergency generalsurgery practice during COVID-19 pandemic
Öz: COVID-19 is a new disease, based on currently available limited information, older adults and people of any age who have severe un-derlying medical conditions may be at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19. People of all age groups are also at risk. Healthcare providers have always been the professionals most exposed to the risk of contracting to any kind of infection due to the nature of their profession. Elective interventions have been postponed to give care of patients with COVID-19. However, some interventions cannot be delayed, such as trauma surgery, acute abdomen, and emergency endoscopies. To maintain the sustainability of the healthcare sys-tem, the protection of healthcare providers should be the top priority. On the other hand, patients, who need emergency healthcare, should also be provided with appropriate treatment. Healthcare professionals should choose a treatment method appropriately in the circumstances to protect themselves and their patients as much as possible. This paper aims to summarize how a surgeon may act appropriately when an intervention is inevitable during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anahtar Kelime: COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında travma ve acil cerrahi uygulamaları için öneriler
Öz: COVID-19, mevcut olan sınırlı bilgilere göre, yaşlılar ve yandaş hastalıkları olan her yaştan insan için ciddi problemler yaratabilecek yeni bir hastalıktır. Ayrıca, tüm yaş grupları da risk altındadır. Sağlık çalışanları, mesleklerinin doğası gereği her türlü enfeksiyona yakalanma riskine en çok maruz kalan profesyoneller olmuştur. Elektif cerrahiler COVID-19 hastalarına bakım vermek için ertelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, travma cerrahisi, akut karın ve acil endoskopiler gibi bazı müdahaleler geciktirilemez. Sağlık sisteminin sürdürülebilirliğini korumak için sağlık çalışanlarının korunması en önemli konulardan birisidir. Öte yandan, acil sağlık hizmeti gerektiren hastalara da uygun tedavi sağlanmalıdır. Sağlık çalışanları, kendilerini ve hastalarını mümkün olduğunca koruyarak, en uygun tedavi yöntemini seçmelidir. Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisi sırasında, bir cerrahın yapması gereken müdahale kaçınılmaz olduğunda nasıl uygun davranabileceğini özetlemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
