Introducing video content into Scars Burns Healing

摘要

A recent article in Scars, Burns & Healing incorporated video footagefor the first time.1 The paper looked into the possibility that usage of power tools, particularlydermatomes, which are commonly used in reconstructive surgery, may be an aerosol-generatingprocedure (AGP) and the use of video footage supported and complemented the conclusion thatprocedures using powered dermatomes were likely to be AGPs. In the context of the COVID-19pandemic, there are likely to be many parallels in all areas where power tools are utilised inthe operating room, and the increasing importance of targeted and tiered levels of personalprotective equipment (PPE) based on risk.
