Role of 3D printing in the protection of surgical and critical care professionals in the COVID-19 pandemic 2020-10-09 .txt text/plain 3361 167 43 Results The following supplies are produced: 1) devices that help protect providers: face protection screens (2400 units), personalized accessories for photophores (20 units) and ear-protection forks for face-masks (1200 units); 2) products related to the ventilation of infected patients: connectors for non-invasive ventilation systems; and 3) oral and nasopharyngeal swabs (7500 units) for the identification of coronavirus carriers with the aim of designing action protocols in clinical areas. 7 However, we were unable to find studies describing the entire process of selection and production of the protective equipment needed by anaesthesiologists and other surgical and critical care staff, particularly in terms of transforming the ideas generated into solutions that can be used directly in clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to describe our experience with 3D printing in a tertiary hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic, with emphasis on public-private coordination and the design, evaluation and development of end prod-ucts for surgical and critical care units using biocompatible polymers. ./cache/cord-340578-5vyv9swb.txt ./txt/cord-340578-5vyv9swb.txt
