Effective prevention and control strategies are mandatory to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection.
The Italian Pediatric Respiratory Society promotes a series of new recommendations that should be followed in pulmonary function testing laboratories during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Pulmonary function testing should be performed in children with chronic lung disease only if it is needed to guide management and limited to the necessary tests, namely spirometry. When performed, strict infection control measures should be followed due to the potential risk of transmitting SARS-CoV-2.
为预防 SARS-CoV-2 感染,必须采取有效的预防和控制策略。
意大利儿科呼吸学会在 COVID-19 大流行期间,为肺功能检测实验室提出了一系列新的建议。
仅当肺功能检测对指导管理有必要且仅限于必需的测试(即肺活量测定法)时,才应在患有慢性肺部疾病的儿童中进行。由于存在传播 SARS-CoV-2 的潜在风险,因此在进行检测时,应严格遵循感染控制措施。
