The COVID-19 disease continues to cause a global pandemic. The University Hospital in Krakow has been designated as one of the COVID-19 hospitals. To prepare for the pandemic we needed to implement strategies that would protect the health care workers, reduce in-hospital transmission, and provide optimal care for the patients. In the operating department, these preparations involve the cooperation of multiple teams and can pose significant difficulties. Here, we describe measures taken in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. These include, adjustments made in OR set-ups, modification of workflow and processes, and the introduction of adequate personal protective equipment. We believe that these containment measures are required in order to provide an adequate quality of care to COVID-19 patient and to minimise the risk of cross-infection to staff members and other patients.
新冠疫情仍在全球肆虐。克拉科夫大学医院已被指定为新冠定点医院之一。为应对这场疫情，我们需要实施一系列策略，以保护医护人员，减少医院内传播，并为患者提供最佳治疗。在手术室，这些准备工作涉及多个团队的协作，可能会带来诸多困难。在此，我们描述了针对新冠疫情爆发所采取的措施。这些措施包括手术室布局调整、工作流程和程序的修改，以及引入足够的个人防护装备。我们认为，这些防控措施对于为新冠患者提供足够的医疗质量，以及将工作人员和其他患者的交叉感染风险降至最低是必要的。
