Mastoidectomy is associated with extensive bone-drilling which makes it a major aerosol generating procedure. Considering the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic, it is essential to devise methods to minimize aerosolization and hence ensure safety of the healthcare workers during the operative procedure.
Two disposable surgical drapes are used to create a closed pocket prior to commencement of mastoid bone-drilling. This limits aerosolization of bone-dust in the external operating theatre environment.
Two-drape closed pocket technique is an easy, cost-effective and safe method to limit aerosolization of tissue particles during mastoidectomy.
乳突切除术需要广泛的骨钻削,这使其成为主要的气溶胶产生程序。考虑到当前的 COVID-19 全球大流行,有必要设计方法来最大限度地减少气溶胶化,从而确保手术过程中医护人员的安全。
在开始乳突骨钻削之前,使用两块一次性手术巾来创建一个封闭的口袋。这限制了外部手术室环境中骨屑的气溶胶化。
双巾封闭口袋技术是一种简单、经济有效且安全的方法,可以限制乳突切除术中组织颗粒的气溶胶化。
