Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is the disease caused by the novel coronavirus officially named the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), declared as a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic presents an unprecedented challenge to emergency radiology practice. The continuity of an effective emergency imaging service for both COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients is essential, while adhering to best infection control practices. Under the direction of the Board of the Canadian Association of Radiologists, this general guidance document has been synthesized by collaborative consensus of a group of emergency radiologists. These recommendations aim to assist radiologists involved in emergency diagnostic imaging to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and continue to add value to patient care in the emergency setting.
2019 冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是由新型冠状病毒引起的疾病,该病毒被世界卫生组织正式命名为严重急性呼吸系统综合征冠状病毒 2(SARS-CoV-2),并于 2020 年 3 月 11 日宣布为大流行。COVID-19 大流行对急诊放射学实践提出了前所未有的挑战。为了坚持最佳感染控制实践,连续性地为 COVID-19 和非 COVID-19 患者提供有效的急诊影像服务至关重要。在加拿大放射学家协会理事会的指导下,一组急诊放射科医生通过协作共识综合编写了这份一般指导文件。这些建议旨在协助参与急诊诊断成像的放射科医生,帮助减轻 COVID-19 的传播,并在急诊环境中继续为患者护理增加价值。
