Abstract
Acil servisler Covid-19 vakalarının yönetiminde ön saflarda yer almaktadır. Acil servis personeli kişisel koruyucu ekipmanlarla donatılmalı ve kullanımı konusunda eğitilmelidir. Hastane enfeksiyonlarının önlenmesi için ön-triaj taramaları gereklidir. Covid-19’un klinik görünümü spesifik olmayan semptomlardan akut solunum sıkıntısı sendromuna kadar değişebilmektedir. Triaj personeli, özellikle ateş, öksürük, nefes darlığı veya solunum yolu hastalığı bulguları olmak üzere tüm hastaları değerlendirirken yüksek şüphe duymalıdır. Aerosol oluşturan işlemler yapan sağlık çalışanları dikkatli olmalıdır. Çocuk popülasyonda morbidite ve mortalite nadir olmakla birlikte, klinisyenler daha savunmasız, hassas popülasyonlara bulaştırabileceklerinin farkında olmalı ve sosyal mesafe teşvik edilmelidir.

Abstract
Emergency departments are on the front line in the management of Covid-19 cases. Emergency department personal need to be equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment and trained in its use. Pre-triage screening is necessary to prevent nosocomial infection. The clinical presentation of Covid-19 ranges from non-specific symptoms to acute respiratory distress syndrome. Personal in triage must maintain a high index of suspicion when evaluating all patients, but especially those with fever, cough, dyspnea, or signs of a respiratory illness. Healthcare workers who perform aerosol processing should be carefully. Even though morbidity and mortality are rare in pediatric population, clinicians should be aware that they may infect more vulnerable populations and social distance should be encouraged.
