Summary
It is very rare for head and neck surgery departments in cancer
hospitals to face sudden epidemic situations, such as the NCP epidemic.
There are relatively few clinical prevention and control measures and
nursing experience, which causes enormous challenges regarding
diagnosis, treatment and nursing in the Department of Head and Neck
Surgery. Individualized diagnosis and treatment and care should be
carried out according to the characteristics of the tumor. For
examinations, treatment and nursing care involving the mouth, care
should be taken regarding the personal protection of medical personnel.
Therefore, under the premise of raising awareness of epidemic prevention
and control in the whole hospital, the source of infection should be
controlled, population aggregation and population flow need to be
reduced, disinfection and isolation measures need to be strictly
enforced, and the transmission routes need to be effectively cut off,
thereby minimizing and eliminating cross-infection among doctors,
nurses, and patients. Under the premise of the prevention and control of
the epidemic, we also should focus on humanity, performing
epidemiological monitoring and postoperative rehabilitation care for
patients and their families. We believe that through the efforts of
everyone, we will be able to overcome this virus and overcome cancer.
