An toàn trong sử dụng dao lấy da điện trong đại dịch covid-19

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated health services in all parts of the world to change practice at unprecedented speed, with frequent changes in guidance as new evidence emerges Despite the overwhelming focus on mitigating the effects of COVID-19 on the population at all levels, many aspects of life continue along with their associated risks. Whilst seeing a reduction in direct review of burn patients, our unit has still seen a number of major burns that have required skin grafting during the pandemic.
There has been specific guidance for high-power tools used in orthopaedic surgery, and as the pneumatic and electric Zimmer 1 dermatomes operates at 4500 - 6500 oscillations per minute (manf. product information), it would class as a high-power tool and therefore likely to generate aerosol.
