OPERATION THEATRE SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY HEALTHCARE WORKERS IN THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC Authors: Pimplodkar MN , KANASE VV AND LANGADE A
ABSTRACT
The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) has the ability to infect healthcare workers. An algorithm
was developed by us to be followed by the institution. It’s aim is to protect the operating
room team members during the COVID-19 pandemic and rationally conserve personal
protective equipment (PPE). Although surgical specialties are fairly not much involved in the
management of this pandemic but best practices models are unavoidably created for surgical
specialties. COVID-19 is a new threat, hence we are trying to prove that by developing an
easy-to-follow decision tree algorithm for the operation theatre safety, we can ensure optimal
healthcare worker safety. Publication date: 15/02/2022 https://ijbpas.com/pdf/2022/February/MS_IJBPAS_2022_FEB_SPCL_1016.pdfDownload PDFhttps://doi.org/10.31032/IJBPAS/2022/11.2.1016
