The coronavirus disease pandemic has affected our practice as healthcare professionals. As burn surgeons, we are obliged to provide the best possible care to our patients. However, due to the risk of viral transmission, the goal should be to provide safe care to our patients as well as ensure the safety of the whole team providing burn care. The burn patients are usually debilitated and require a prolonged hospital stay and multiple operative procedures which put them and everyone involved in their care at increased risk of coronavirus infections and transmission. This warrants special caution to the burn team while managing such patients. In this review, we aim to highlight the key considerations for burn care teams while dealing with burn patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
冠状病毒病大流行已经影响到了我们作为医护人员的工作。作为烧伤外科医生，我们有义务为患者提供尽可能最好的治疗。然而，由于病毒传播的风险，目标应该是在为患者提供安全治疗的同时，确保整个烧伤治疗团队的安全。烧伤患者通常身体虚弱，需要长时间住院和接受多次手术，这增加了他们以及参与其治疗的每一个人的冠状病毒感染和传播风险。这就要求烧伤治疗团队在处理此类患者时格外谨慎。在这篇综述中，我们旨在强调在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间烧伤治疗团队在处理烧伤患者时的关键注意事项。
