Simulation Based Ambulance and Crew Decontamination Advise During COVID-19 Pandemic
摘要
This study involved a simulation of transportation and basic life support on ambulances carrying coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, using a specially modified mannequin. The mannequin used can spew a fluorescent solution from its mouth to simulate the droplets or vomitus made by the patient and can be detected using ultraviolet light illumination. We determined that the most frequently contaminated areas of an ambulance in the driver's cabin are the left front door's outer handle, driver's handler, gear lever, and mat. The most frequently contaminated area in the rear patient's cabin is the rear door, rear door lining, and handle over the roof. The most frequently contaminated areas before the removal of personal protective equipment (PPE) are the lower chest to the belly area, bilateral hands, lower rim of the gown, and shoes. After the removal of PPE, traces of fluorescence were observed over the neck, hands, and legs. We therefore suggest taking a bath immediately after PPE removal.
