Abstract

COVİD-19 oldukça bulaşıcı bir vürüstür ve bulaş dinamikleri henüz tam olarak aydınlatılabilmiş değildir. Hasta kişinin semptomlar başlamadan önce bulaştırıcı olmaya başladığı bilinmektedir. Ayrıca enfekte olmuş ancak semptom ve bulguları olmayan asemptomatik bireylerin de diğer kişileri enfekte edebildiği bilinmektedir. Sağlık çalışanlarının COVİD-19 hastalarına bakım verirken kendilerini korumalarının tek yolu el hijyenlerini sağlamaları ve kişisel koruyucu ekipmanları (KKK) doğru şekilde kullanmalarıdır. COVİD-19 yakın temasla ve büyük solunum damlacıkları ile bulaşmaktadır, hava yolu ile bulaşmamaktadır. Cerrahi maske solunum damlacıklarının geçişini önlemektedir. Ancak aerosol oluşturan işlemler sırasında enfeksiyöz küçük partiküller yüksek oranda çevreye saçılır. Bu işlemler sırsında sağlık çalışanlarının enfekte olma ihtimali daha yüksektir ve bu nedenle bu işlemler sırasında respirator takılması önerilir. Sağlık çalışanlarının kendilerini korumaları için, maske ve respirator kullanımının yanısıra diğer önerilen KKK’ler de kullanılmalı ve el hijyeni sağlanmalıdır.

Abstract

COVID-19 is highly contagious and transmission dynamics of COVID-19 are not yet fully elucidated. It is known that the ill person begins to become contagious before the symptoms of the disease begin. Also asymptomatic person who are infected but does not have symptoms and signs, can infect other individuals. The only way for health workers to protect themselves from COVID-19 is proper use of personal protective equipment and to ensure hand hygiene. COVID-19 is transmitted through close contact and large respiratory droplets and not transmitted by airborne. The surgical mask prevents the passage of respiratory droplets. However, during the aerosol producing procedures performed on the patient, small particles containing infectious particles are scattered to air in high amounts. Healthcare workers are more likely become infected during these procedures. It is recommended to wear respirator during these procedures. Use of masks or respirators must be in conjunction with other recommended PPE and appropriate hand hygiene.
