Katılımcıların hastane dağılımı %59 (n=121) eğitim araştırma; %15.1 (n=31) devlet;%21 (n=43) üniversite; %4.9 (n=10) özel hastane idi. Katılımcı anesteziyologlardan 10’nunun(%4.9) Covid-19 enfeksiyonu geçirdiği saptandı. Koruyucu ekipmana erişim oranı, cerrahi maskegibi günlük kullanımı yaygın olan malzemeler için %83 iken respiratör maske, siperlik ve gözlükgibi malzemeleri katılımcıların kendi imkanlarıyla temin ettiği saptandı.

Anesthesiologists’ Attitude and Approach Regarding Personal Usage of Protective Equipment During the Covid-19 Pandemic

Objective: The aim was to evaluate the attitudes and approaches of anesthesiologists about the use of personal protective equipment in intensive care and/or operating rooms during the novel Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: After obtaining ethics committee approval, 205 anesthesiologists were invited to participate in this study through social media tools and by e-mail. Responses of the participants to survey questions were analysed. Results: Of those who participated in the study 32.7% (n=67) were research assistants and 51.2% (n=105) were specialists. While the participants were from teaching and research hospital (n=121; 59%, state hospitals (n=31; 15.1%) university hospitals (n=43; 21, and private hospitals (n=10; 4.9%). Ten (4.9%) participants had Covid-19 infection. The results showed that anesthesiologists had free access to daily used PPE such as surgical mask (83%), however, 60% of the participants had to provide their own respirator masks, visors and goggles to use in the work place. It was determined that anesthesiologists felt safer about the use of PPE over time compared to the beginning of the pandemic [median 5 (1-10)] and median 7 (1-10), p
