Healthcare personnel (HCP) with unprotected exposures to aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) on patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are at risk of infection with severe acute respiratory coronavirus virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A retrospective review at an academic medical center demonstrated an infection rate of <1% among HCP involved in AGPs without a respirator and/or eye protection.
医疗保健人员(HCP)在对患有 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)的患者进行气溶胶生成程序(AGP)时,如果没有采取保护措施,会有感染严重急性呼吸冠状病毒 2 型(SARS-CoV-2)的风险。在一家学术医疗中心进行的回顾性研究表明,在没有使用呼吸器和/或眼部保护的情况下参与 AGP 的 HCP 中,感染率<1%。
