Synopsis

The main objective of this study was to analyze the complications arising from the use of personal protective equipment. We developed a cross-sectional analytical study, using a quantitative approach, with the participation of physicians, nurses and operational assistants. The participants answered an online questionnaire on Google Docs, with sociodemographic characterization and questions about Personal Protective Equipment and its complications. Different PPE was identified in aerosol-generating and non-aerosol-generating procedures. The gown, disposable gloves, surgical mask, KN95 mask, FFP2 mask, and cap were the PPE used for more than 4 hours. Difficulties associated with the use of the coveralls, the FFP2 mask, the goggles, and the visor were identified. Most professionals used measures to prevent and treat complications arising from the use of PPE, and complications were identified in almost all PPE arising from their use.
