Emergency Department Nurse:

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused huge harm worldwide.COVID-19 is transmitted from person to person and spreads very quickly.Globally, 2,810,325 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed by the WHO, including 193,825 deaths, as of 26 April, 2020. In China, there have been 84,338 cases and 4,642 deaths.  As of February 29, 2020, an estimated 42,000 medical personnel have served as frontline staff during the worldwide pandemic. Although medical personnel have been indispensable during the COVID-19 pandemic, over 3,000 personnel in Hubei Province, China were infected during the early stage of the pandemic, because knowledge pertaining to prevention and control of the virus was lacking. One medical staff member became infected despite wearing protective equipment and an N95 mask; the initial manifestation was unilateral conjunctivitis, which was followed by fever a few hours later. Many studies have noted the importance of wearing goggles to protect the eyes from coronavirus infection when in contact with patients.To help Emergency department (ED) healthcare staff overcome the problem of fogging, we retrieved papers from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data, and SinoMed databases, and interviewed medical staff in our hospital caring for COVID-19 patients. Four methods to overcome fogging were commonly used: washing-up liquid, hand sanitizer, and application of antifogging agents and iodophors.
