    Clinical evaluation of the cardiopulmonary changes generated by the use of personal protective equipment at work dentistry in a local clinic, Lima, 2022
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-04-11) Robles Tarrillo, Susana Esther; Villacorta Molina, Mariela Antonieta
    The design was observational and longitudinal, with a sample of 21 dentists from the Clínica Internacional, San Borja branch. The use of personal protective equipment was verified, and vital signs such as blood pressure (measured with a sphygmomanometer), heart rate, and oxygen saturation (measured with a pulse oximeter) were recorded before and after dental procedures. The data were recorded on a data collection form and statistically analyzed. The results showed that there were cardiopulmonary changes due to the use of personal protective equipment during dental work, with significant changes in blood pressure (p = 0.000) and heart rate (p = 0.014), but not in oxygen saturation (p = 0.235). The mean systolic blood pressure changed from 121 to 116 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure from 76 to 75 mmHg, and heart rate from 77 to 72 beats per minute. Oxygen saturation remained at an average of 98% after the use of personal protective equipment. It was concluded that the use of personal protective equipment in dentistry generates cardiopulmonary changes
