Abstract
During the epidemic period of COVID-19, medical staff do all kinds of effective protection in order to avoid virus infection. Masks, protective clothing and goggles are essential for preventing viral infections. It was found that most goggles worn by medical staff could fog up quickly. This situation will block vision, increase risks and interfere with clinical works, nurses can’t operate effectively, doctors can’t diagnose and treat accurately. Patients are delayed in emergency rescue, and improper protection even leads to cross infection in hospital. After literature review and clinical practice, combined with professional knowledge, we proposed how to choose protective goggles correctly, and seven methods of anti-fog. This study was expected to be helpful to the medical workers in the prevention and control of COVID-19
