In the ongoing fight against the epidemic of COVID-19, the medical staff has been under tremendous pressure. Wearing the protective equipment (masks, goggles, and protective screens) with a poor breathability for a long time causes various skin problems, such as allergies, excessive skin hydration, local mechanical injuries, and even secondary infections. In addition, in a closed environment, compression and friction aggravate skin reactions, which may compromise duty performance of the medical staff. It is therefore essential to provide timely treatment opinions and prevention methods for common skin problems. We also give suggestions concerning the preparation of medical kit for skin protection in the epidemic area.
在抗击新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情的战斗中,医护人员承受着巨大压力。长时间佩戴透气性差的防护装备(口罩、护目镜和防护屏)会引发各种皮肤问题,如过敏、皮肤过度水合、局部机械损伤,甚至继发感染。此外,在封闭环境中,压迫和摩擦会加重皮肤反应,这可能会影响医护人员的工作表现。因此,为常见皮肤问题提供及时的治疗意见和预防方法至关重要。我们还针对疫区皮肤防护医疗用品的准备给出了建议。
