Abstract

Amaç: COVİD-19 pandemisinde mastoid cerrahisi sırasında oluşan aerosollere karşı koruyucu bir yöntem geliştirmek
Gereç ve Yöntem: Dört otolojik cerrahi için mikroskoptan cerrahi sahaya uzanan bariyer çadır dizayn edip, uygulanmıştır.
Sonuçlar: Cerrahi ekipten COVİD-19 semptomu gösteren kimse olmadı.
Tartışma: Bu koruyucu yöntem mikroskopik mastoid cerrahisi uygulaması için güvenli ve konforlu bir yol olarak görünmektedir.

Keywords

COVİD-19, mastoid cerrahisi, koruyucu çadır, aerosol

PROTECTİON FROM AEROSOLS DURİNG MICROSCOPIC MASTOİD SURGERY İN THE COVID-19 PANDEMİC

Abstract

Purpose: To design a protective method from aerosols during mastoid surgery in COVID-19 pandemic. Material and
Material and Methods: We designed and applied a barrier tent from microscope to surgical field for four procedures of otologic surgeries
Results: There were neither symptoms nor signs of COVID-19 infection in the surgery team.
Conclusion: This protective method will provide a safe and comfortable way to perform microscopic mastoid surgery.

Keywords

COVID-19, mastoid surgery, barrier tent, aerosols.
