2019年新型冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行使器械相关性压疮（DRPU）的影响成为焦点。随着个人防护设备（PPE）的使用增加，包括面罩、持续气道正压通气（CAPP）面罩和其他装置，卫生专业人员和患者中DRPU的发生率急剧上升。因此，2020年2月发表的《伤口护理杂志》（JWC）共识文件《器械相关性压疮：安全预防》比以往任何时候都更具相关性。为了帮助支持患者和一线卫生专业人员，JWC正在以数字格式重新发布该共识，同时沿着一篇新的介绍性文章，概述了患者和卫生专业人员在大流行期间使用的PPE和其他医疗器械所带来的DRPU风险，以及如何避免皮肤损伤。其目的是为前线员工提供一个清晰、简单的策略，说明如何在大流行期间预防个人皮肤损伤和/或DRPU的风险，并为他们自己和患者提供更深入的长期预防策略指导。
The 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has brought the effects of device-related pressure ulcers (DRPU) into sharp focus. With the increased use of personal protective equipment (PPE), including face masks, continuous positive airway pressure (CAPP) masks and other devices, the incidence of DRPUs among health professionals and patients alike has risen starkly. As such, the Journal of Wound Care (JWC) consensus document, Device-related pressure ulcers: SECURE prevention, published in February 2020, is more relevant than ever. To help support patients and frontline health professionals, JWC is republishing the consensus in a digital format, along with a new introductory article outlining the DRPU risks posed by PPE and other medical devices used by patients and health professionals during the pandemic, and how the skin damage can be avoided. The aim is to provide frontline staff with a clear, simple strategy on how to prevent the risk of personal skin damage and/or DRPU during the pandemic, as well as point them in the direction of more indepth guidance on long-term strategies for prevention, for both themselves and patients.
