More than 14,000 cases of AIDS have been reported to the Centers for Disease Control as of October 1985. Two to five times that number of people were reported to have the AIDS-related conditions. An additional 12,000 cases of AIDS will have been reported by mid-year. In light of these statistics, an ever increasing number of AIDS patients will be coming to the operating room. How much at risk are health care workers and what precautions should be taken, particularly by anesthesiologists when working with patients' airway?
截至1985年10月，向疾病控制中心报告的艾滋病病例已超过14000例。据报告，患有与艾滋病相关病症的人数是这一数字的两到五倍。到年中还将再报告12000例艾滋病病例。鉴于这些统计数据，将有越来越多的艾滋病患者进入手术室。医护人员面临多大风险，应采取哪些预防措施，尤其是麻醉医生在处理患者气道时？
