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.
