AB  - INTRODUCTION: To avoid exposure to SARS-COV-2, healthcare professionals use 
      personal protective equipment (PPE) while treating COVID-19 patients. Prior 
      studies have revealed the adverse effects (AEs) of PPE on healthcare workers 
      (HCWs); however, no review has focused on the AEs of PPE on HCWs in intensive 
      care units (ICUs). This review aimed to identify the AEs of PPE on HCWs working 
      in ICUs during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: A scoping review was conducted. 
      MEDLINE, CINAHL, the World Health Organization (WHO) global literature on 
      COVID-19, and Igaku-chuo-zasshi (a Japanese medical database), Google Scholar, 
      medRxiv, and Health Research Board (HRB) open research were searched from January 
      25-28, 2021. The extracted data included author(s) name, year of publication, 
      country, language, article title, journal name, publication type, study 
      methodology, population, outcome, and key findings. RESULTS: The initial search 
      identified 691 articles and abstracts. Twenty-five articles were included in the 
      analysis. The analysis comprised four key topics: studies focusing on PPE-related 
      headache, voice disorders, skin manifestations, and miscellaneous AEs of PPE. The 
      majority of AEs for HCWs in ICUs were induced by prolonged use of masks. 
      CONCLUSION: The AEs of PPE among HCWs in ICUs included heat, headaches, skin 
      injuries, chest discomfort, and dyspnea. Studies with a focus on specific 
      diseases were on skin injuries. Moreover, many AEs were induced by prolonged use 
      of masks.
