IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC ON THE ISCMPA SKIN BANK
Keywords:
Burn, Allografts, Biological dressingsAbstract
Introduction: allograft skin is the gold standard for temporary coverage of burns. In the pandemic, serological criteria for donors were changed, reducing the supply of tissues. Methods: productivity data of de Bank were revised comparing the period prior to the pandemic to the pandemic period. Results: between 2015 and 2019, an average of 44.2 donations were carried out per year by the Bank, providing 42,232 cm2/year of tissue. In the pandemic years, 2020 and 2021, there was a reduction in the number of donors to 23 per year on average, offering 24,943 cm2/year of skin. There was, therefore, a 48% reduction in the number of donors and a 31% reduction in the skin area. Conclusion: the imbalance between skin donation and the need for biological dressings in Brazil only worsened during the pandemic, both due to the increased level of demand in testing and the overcrowding of hospitals. Thus, it is imperative to search for alternatives in the treatment of patients.
