Abstract

With the COVID 19 pandemic, the importance of efficient use of resources during epidemics has been understood again. Triage should be done at every stage of health services in terms of efficient resource use. In order to protect healthcare personnel during the pandemic, it is ne-cessary to have sufficient personal protection equipment and use it appropriately. Pandemic triage should begin from the main entrance of the hospital. Separate areas should be arranged for the evaluation of symptomatic patients. In addition, measures should be taken to prevent other patients from interrupting their treatment.

Özet

COVID 19 pandemisi ile beraber salgınlar esnasında kaynakların etkin kullanımının önemi tekrar anlaşılmıştır. Triyaj etkin kaynak kullanımı açısından sağlık hizmetlerinin her basamağında yapılmalıdır. Pandemi esnasında sağlık personelinin korunması için kişisel korunma ekipmanlarının yeterli olması ve uygun şekilde kullanımı gereklidir. Hastane ana girişlerinden itibaren pandemi triyajı yapılmalıdır. Semptomatik hastaların değerlendirilmesi için ayrı alanlar düzenlenmelidir. Ayrıca diğer hastaların tedavilerinin aksamaması için önlem alınmalıdır.
