The coronavirus which causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is a virulent and highly contagious organism. Of the 1755 SARS patients in Hong Kong, over 400 were healthcare workers. Meticulous attention to infection control and teamwork are essential to minimize cross-contamination and prevent staff from contracting the illness. These points are especially pertinent when anaesthetizing SARS patients for high-risk procedures such as tracheostomy. We describe the management of such a case.
导致严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）的冠状病毒是一种毒性很强且极具传染性的病原体。在香港的1755名SARS患者中，超过400名是医护人员。对感染控制和团队协作给予细致关注对于将交叉污染降至最低并防止工作人员感染该疾病至关重要。在为诸如气管切开术等高风险手术的SARS患者实施麻醉时，这些要点尤为相关。我们描述了这样一个病例的处理情况。
