The manifestation of a new pathogen, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), constitutes a new problem for modern health care systems. Developing updated standards for all emergency services working at an accident site during the pandemic has been a continuous challenge. The principal method of preventing the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the use of personal protective equipment, such as protective suits, masks and goggles, or face shields. The study aims to present the recommended on-site procedures during the coronavirus pandemic based on the description of an accident of an ambulance transporting a patient with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, emphasizing the actions taken by the emergency services sent to the accident site.
一种新病原体——严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2)的出现,给现代医疗保健系统带来了新的问题。在大流行期间,为所有在事故现场工作的应急服务制定更新的标准一直是一个持续的挑战。预防 SARS-CoV-2 病毒传播的主要方法是使用个人防护设备,如防护服、口罩和护目镜,或面罩。本研究旨在根据一起运送确诊 SARS-CoV-2 感染患者的救护车事故的描述,提出冠状病毒大流行期间现场推荐程序,强调对派往事故现场的应急服务采取的行动。
