In the context of Covid-19, personal protective equipment is much needed and often in short supply as a protection against the virus, but nobody until recently was discussing the downside of its prolonged use by its wearers. Increasing numbers of health care workers feel unwell using it and are overheating and some have fainted. Will it impair their professional performance? This article considers this aspect of PPE based upon the personal experience of a Forensic team at AIIMS Bhopal in India who wore it during autopsy work and proposed recommendations to minimise it.
在新冠疫情背景下，个人防护装备作为预防病毒的手段非常必要且常常供不应求，但直到最近都没有人讨论其使用者长期佩戴的负面影响。越来越多的医护人员在使用它时感到不适、过热，甚至有些人晕倒。这会影响他们的专业表现吗？本文基于印度博帕尔全印医学科学研究所法医团队的个人经历进行探讨，该团队在尸检工作中佩戴了个人防护装备，并提出了将负面影响降至最低的建议。
