Recommendations on general principles of trauma care in the settings of pandemic, medical stuff protection and prevention of the spread of infection based on the data from international centers are presented in the article. Delay of all elective cases, restriction of surgical treatment of fractures with relative indications for surgery are recommended. The segregation of cases into COVID-19 confirmed or suspected and COVID-19 negative patients is important. When possible before the admission to in-patient department the patient shall be tested on COVID-19. When the COVID-19 status of the patient is unclear all possible protection measures shall be used: patient isolation and medical stuff protection. To prevent the spread of infection it is recommended to split the stuff of the traumacenter into 2 or 3 groups. Each of the groups is working during the week with subsequent period of the self-isolation (remote work) for the period of 1-2 weeks (according to the duration of incubation period of the COVID-19). During the surgical treatment the most dangerous stages of the surgery are endotracheal intubation / extubation and also aerosol-generative procedures: electrocoagulation, pulsed wound lavage, drilling, the use of oscillating saw and medullary reaming. The stuff in the OP-theatre has to be accordingly equipped (personal protection equipment). The risk factors for the medical stuff are fatigue from overwork, the absence of real-time training in infection-prevention measures and non-compliance with PPE.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Развивающаяся пандемия COVID-19 является испытанием на прочность для системы травматологической помощи по всему миру. На основании международного опыта в статье приводятся рекомендации по общей организации лечения у пациентов с костно-суставными повреждениями, а также по защите медицинского персонала и пациентов от распространения вируса при оказании медицинской помощи. Рекомендуется полное прекращение плановой госпитализации, ограничение госпитализации пациентов с относительными показаниями к хирургическому лечению переломов. Важным является разделение потоков пациентов на COVID-положительных (или подозрительных) и COVID-отрицательных. При возможности отсрочки перед госпитализацией в стационар пациент должен быть обследован на COVID-19. При неясном COVID-статусе пациента и невозможности отсрочки требуется максимальное соблюдение мер предосторожности: изоляция пациента и использование средств индивидуальной защиты. Для ограничения распространения вируса в коллективе рекомендуется разделение персонала травматологического стационара на 2–3 изолированных друг от друга бригады, каждая из которых работает в течение недели с последующим периодом изоляции в течение 1–2 нед. При хирургическом лечении пациента с COVID-19 наиболее опасными этапами являются интубация/экстубация, а также так называемые аэрозоль-генерирующие манипуляции: использование электрокоагулятора, осциллирующей пилы, промывание раны пульсирующей струей, сверление кости, рассверливание костномозгового канала. Персонал операционной должен иметь защиту соответствующего уровня. Факторами риска заболеваемости медицинского персонала являются переутомление, отсутствие личного обучения использованию средств индивидуальной защиты и пренебрежительное отношение к ним.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>trauma care</kwd><kwd>stuff protection</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>COVID-19</kwd><kwd>травматологическая помощь</kwd><kwd>защита персонала</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>1.
