A Study on the Safety of Wearing Masks in Children with Postoperative Mask Oxygen Inhalation During Epidemic Prevention and Control
Objective To explore the safety of wearing masks for children with oxygen inhalation after operation during the prevention and control of novel coronavirus epidemic situation.Methods With the selection of sixty pediatric patients underwent surgical treatment at Taizhou Hospital in Zhejiang Province from April to August 2021 as the research subjects,they were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group,by using the random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.After removing the tracheal cannula,the experimental group immediately wore a disposable medical children's mask,while the control group did not wear a mask.With the transfer of the child to the post anesthesia recovery room,and the use of a regular oxygen mask for oxygen therapy,heart rate(HR),oxygen saturation value(SPO2),end end-tidal carbon dioxide(ETCO2),and respiratory rate(RR)levels were compared between two groups at 0,5,10,15,30,and 45 minutes.Results There were no statistically significant differences in the time and group effect of HR and SPO2,and time×group interaction effect between the two groups(P>0.05).The comparison of RR and ETCO2 levels between the two groups showed a time effect,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there were no statistically significant differences in group effect and time×group interaction effect(P>0.05).Conclusion During postoperative oxygen mask inhalation,wearing a medical mask in children does not cause adverse changes in respiratory parameters.
