During the sudden epidemic of this novel coronavirus-induced pneumonia, a number of medical staff were infected and even succumbed to coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). Based on the experience of medical professionals from The Hubei 672 Orthopedics Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine on this COVID-19 pandemic, the present review summarizes the risk factors associated with the occupational exposure of front-line medical staff. Challenges encountered include insufficient understanding, lack of early protection, environmental factors and routine procedures and the lack of adequate prevention strategies. Overcoming these challenges can potentially enhance awareness of COVID-19 prevention and control among medical staff, in addition to strengthening the personal protection of front-line medical staff, rational area layout, regular disinfection, standardization of daily procedures, reasonable scheduling and early psychological intervention. The present article may serve as a referencing point for the prevention and control of this epidemic.
在此次新型冠状病毒感染的肺炎疫情突发期间，多名医护人员感染甚至死于新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）。基于湖北省中西医结合医院672骨科医院医学专业人员在此次COVID-19疫情中的经验，本综述总结了一线医护人员职业暴露的相关危险因素。遇到的挑战包括认识不足、缺乏早期防护、环境因素和常规操作以及缺乏充分的预防策略。克服这些挑战可能会提高医护人员对COVID-19防控的认识，此外还能加强一线医护人员的个人防护、合理布局区域、定期消毒、规范日常操作、合理排班以及早期心理干预。本文可作为此次疫情防控的参考依据。
