In the early stages of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in Wuhan, many cross-infections occurred due to the limited number of wards and insufficient medical staff, which could not cope with the large number of patients visiting the hospital. A series of new infection control measures were implemented in our institution and a Wuhan hospital supported by our medical team, mainly including temporarily transforming the general ward into a passage for the staff to enter the infectious ward and standardizing the procedure for the wearing and removal of personal protection equipment (PPE). These measures significantly improved the situation, and no member of our medical staff was infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the middle and late stages of the disease epidemic. We hope that these experiences can provide references for medical institutions that may face an outbreak of COVID-19, especially those in underdeveloped countries and regions.
在2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)武汉疫情爆发的初期,由于病房数量有限且医务人员不足,无法应对大量前来就诊的患者,导致了许多交叉感染的发生。我们机构以及由我们医疗队支持的一家武汉医院实施了一系列新的感染控制措施,主要包括将普通病房临时改造成工作人员进入感染病房的通道,并规范个人防护装备(PPE)的穿戴和脱卸程序。这些措施显著改善了局面,在疫情的中后期,我们的医务人员中没有一人感染严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)。我们希望这些经验能够为可能面临COVID-19疫情爆发的医疗机构提供参考,尤其是那些欠发达国家和地区的医疗机构。
