INTRODUCTION
COVID-19 brought with it the requirement for healthcare workers to limit community transmission of the virus as much as possible by limiting patient contact and wearing Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). This study aimed to capture the initial adaptations to sonographic examination protocols within ultrasound departments and sonographer access to PPE.
METHODS
An online survey was used to gather data on sonographer reflections of sonographic examination protocol changes seen in their departments and access to PPE between the 11th of March 2020 and the 14th of June 2020.
RESULTS
To reduce the time sonographers spent with the patients and hence reduce the risk of exposure to COVID-19, sonographers reported adjustments to sonographic examination protocols including their duration and scheduling. Access to PPE was reported as poor.
CONCLUSION
Numerous sonographic examination protocol changes were observed within ultrasound departments in Australasia in the initial response to COVID-19. Access to PPE was varied along with sonographer feelings around the impact of these changes.
引言
新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）带来了医护人员尽可能通过限制与患者接触以及穿戴个人防护装备（PPE）来限制病毒社区传播的要求。本研究旨在了解超声科对超声检查方案的初步调整以及超声检查人员获取个人防护装备的情况。
方法
采用在线调查收集2020年3月11日至2020年6月14日期间超声检查人员对其所在科室超声检查方案变化及获取个人防护装备情况的反馈数据。
结果
为减少超声检查人员与患者相处的时间，从而降低感染COVID-19的风险，超声检查人员报告了对超声检查方案的调整，包括检查时长和安排。据报告，个人防护装备的获取情况不佳。
结论
在对COVID-19的初步应对中，澳大利亚和新西兰的超声科观察到了许多超声检查方案的变化。个人防护装备的获取情况各不相同，超声检查人员对这些变化的影响也有不同感受。
