To describe the strategy and the emergency management and infection control procedure of our radiology department during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
We set up emergency management and sensing control teams. The team formulated various measures: reconfiguration of the radiology department, personal protection and training of staff, examination procedures for patients suspected of or confirmed with COVID-19 as well as patients without an exposure history or symptoms. Those with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection were scanned in the designated fever-CT unit.
From January 21, 2020, to March 9, 2020, 3,083 people suspected or confirmed to be infected with COVID-19 underwent fever-CT examinations. Including initial examinations and re-examinations, the total number of fever-CT examinations numbered 3,340. As a result of our precautions, none of the staff of the radiology department were infected with COVID-19.
Strategic planning and adequate protections can help protect patients and staff against a highly infectious disease while maintaining function at a high-volume capacity.
描述在 2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情期间,我们放射科的策略以及应急管理和感染控制程序。
我们成立了应急管理和感应控制团队。该团队制定了各种措施:放射科的重新配置、工作人员的个人防护和培训、疑似或确诊 COVID-19 以及无暴露史或症状的患者的检查程序。疑似或确诊 COVID-19 感染的患者在指定的发热 CT 科室进行扫描。
从 2020 年 1 月 21 日至 2020 年 3 月 9 日,共有 3083 名疑似或确诊感染 COVID-19 的患者进行了发热 CT 检查。包括初次检查和复查,发热 CT 检查总数为 3340 次。由于我们的预防措施,放射科的工作人员无一例感染 COVID-19。
战略规划和充分的防护措施有助于在维持大容量功能的同时,保护患者和工作人员免受高度传染性疾病的侵害。
