The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic has led to an increase in the number of critically ill patients requiring intensive care unit admissions and mechanical ventilation. The sequential effect is that these patients may then require a tracheostomy. Tracheostomy guidelines were established to help minimise the risk of viral transmission to the personnel performing the procedure. Safety measures regarding preoperative planning, surgical technique and nursing care are important to minimise the risk of transmission to medical personnel. We describe our experience in conducting tracheostomies for two COVID-19 patients at a referral centre in Sabah, Malaysia.
冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行导致需要入住重症监护病房和接受机械通气的危重症患者数量增加。其连续效应是这些患者可能需要进行气管切开术。气管切开术指南的建立是为了帮助将病毒传播给进行手术的医务人员的风险降到最低。关于术前计划、手术技术和护理的安全措施对于降低向医务人员传播的风险非常重要。我们描述了在马来西亚沙巴的一个转诊中心为两名 COVID-19 患者进行气管切开术的经验。
