Algoritmo para paramentação, desparamentação e prevenção de lesões faciais: Covid-19

Abstract

OBJETIVO: Elaborar algoritmos para orientar os profissionais da saúde na correta utilização dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individual e oferecer medidas preventivas relacionadas às lesões de pele facial causadas pelo uso inadequado dos equipamentos de proteção individual durante a pandemia da SARS-CoV-2. MÉTODO: revisão integrativa da literatura junto às bases de dados das Ciências da Saúde, MEDLINE, SciELO e LILACS, no período de 2015 a 2020, sendo utilizados para a busca os descritores: COVID-19, Lesão por pressão relacionada a dispositivo médico e Equipamentos e provisões. RESULTADOS: Foram desenvolvidos três algoritmos que descrevem as técnicas de paramentação, de desparamentação dos equipamentos de proteção individual e as medidas preventivas para evitar as lesões faciais causadas pelo uso inadequado dos equipamentos de proteção individual. CONCLUSÃO: Os algoritmos construídos oferecem ao profissional de saúde a descrição de técnicas do uso dos equipamentos de proteção individual e medidas preventivas para lesão facial causada pelo uso dos equipamentos de proteção individual, assim como possibilitam ao profissional uma melhor visualização, praticidade e entendimento do procedimento a ser realizado.

Validation of Algorithms for Donning and Doffing Personal Protective Equipment during the COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Algorithms guide the healthcare team in the decision-making process, provide a broad view of an entire process, and promote better care management. [25][26][27][28] After their development, algorithms should be evaluated for their effectiveness and usefulness. 19,[25][26][27][28]…”

Prevention of facial injuries caused by personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…For the construction of the leaflets, a content survey was initially carried out through an integrative literature review. The following stages for the development of the research were delimited: identification of the theme and selection of the research question; establishment of criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of studies; definition of the information to be extracted from the selected studies; categorization of studies; evaluation of studies included in the integrative review; interpretation of results; presentation of the review and synthesis of knowledge (4,9) .…”

“…The prolonged or incorrect use of facial masks, respirators and glasses/visors is responsible for the constant friction and pressure forces on facial skin tissues, leading professionals to suffer facial skin lesions (FSL) and dermatitis (3)(4)(5)(6) .…”

Validation of a Brochure to Guide Health Professionals in the Dressing and Undressing of Personal Protective Equipment During the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic

“…Content validation should be performed by experts with specific knowledge in the field. [22][23][24][25] The developed brochures offer a theoretical and practical foundation to health professionals and contribute to the standardization of the procedure of dressing and undressing PPE, leading to improvement of individualized, systematized, personalized assistance without damage, and with the minimum possible risk of infection for professionals and patients. The brochure will also contribute to the prevention of FI caused by the inappropriate use of PPE.…”
