Objectives By the end of this unit, you will be familiar with :
1. Signs & symptoms2. Case definition 3. Mode of transmission 4. Infection control precautions for
SARS5. HA infection control policy on SARS
Pandemic
-
3
1. Begin, Fever > 38oC
2. + / - chills OR other symptoms (headache, general feeling of discomfort, and body aches)
3. + / - Mild respiratory symptoms
4. + / - Diarrhea
5. After 2 to 7 days, may develop a dry, nonproductive cough that might be progress to hypoxia.
6. + / - Require mechanical ventilation
7. Develop pneumonia
Signs & Symptoms
-
4
Case Definition
-
5
Fever (>38oC)AND
One or more symptoms of lower respiratory tract illness (cough, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath)
AND
Radiographic evidence of lung infiltrates consistent with pneumonia or ARDS, OR autopsy findings consistent with the pathology of pneumonia or ARDS without an identifiable cause
ANDNo alternative diagnosis can fully explain the illness
Clinical Evidence
-
6
• PCR positive for SARS-Co V using a validated method
• Seroconversion by ELISA or IFA
• Virus isolation
Laboratory Evidence
-
7
Mode of Transmission- By respiratory
droplets- During coughing,
sneezing and talking
1 meter- Airborne transmission cannot be
completely ruled out.
-
8
Spreading infection through direct contact with
• Patient’s secretions eg. respiratory secretions
• Patient’s excreta and fomites• Contaminated surfaces e.g door knob,
keyboard, bedside tables• Contaminated equipments
-

Infection Control for SARS
-
10
Isolation Precautions (a two-level approach)
• Standard Precautions
• Respiratory hygiene and cough etiqutte
• Additional (Transmission-based) precautions which include, Droplet precautions and Contact precautions
• Airborne precautions - performing high risk procedures/activities

12
Standard precautions• Synthesize the major features of Universal
Precautions• Apply to all patients • Apply to blood • Apply to all body fluids, secretions, and
excretions except sweat and tear.• Applies to non-intact skin and mucus
membrane
-
13
• Cover the nose/mouth when coughing or sneezing
• Perform hand hygiene if contact respiratory secretions and contaminated objects
• Put on a surgical mask
Respiratory hygiene and cough etiquette
• Use tissue paper to contain respiratory secretions and dispose in the waste receptacle
-
14
Additional (Transmission based) Precautions
In addition to standard precautions, airborne, droplet and contact precautions should be applied.
• negative pressure isolation room if available• cohort confirmed cases in cubicles and
separate from each other > 1 metre• do not nurse confirmed cases with unconfirmed
cases in the same cubicle.• designated areas for gowning and degowning
-
15
• provide hand hygiene facilities• wear recommended PPE• eye protection should be worn when he/she is
within one metre to the patient.• apply further precautions for high risk
procedures.• easy access to shower facilities for staff
Additional (Transmission based) Precautions
-

Droplet Precautions
1 meter
Perform Hand Hygiene

When touching Infectious materialsecretions
Contact Precautions
Wear gowns when splashing is likely

18
Hand HygienePerform hand hygiene: • After touching blood, body fluid,
excretions, secretions, mucus membranes, non-intact skin, contaminated items and environment
• Before touching face • Before leaving wards and
hospital/clinics• After removal of gloves• Before and after patient contact• Use alcohol-based handrub when
hands are not visibly soiled

PPE - Gown1. When splashes or sprays of blood and
body fluids, secretions and excretions to skin and working clothes are likely.
2. When working clothes has substantial contact with patient, environmental surfaces or patient items.
3. Select an appropriate gown for the procedure and amount of fluid likely to be encountered.
4. Remove a soiled gown as promptly as possible and perform hand hygiene to avoid transfer of microorganisms to other patients or environments.
-
23
Surgical masks and eye protection: – When splashes or sprays of blood,
body fluids, secretions and excretions are likely.
N95 Respirator– Airborne isolation precautions
Change PPE promptly if heavily contaminated during the procedure
PPE – Respiratory & eye protection
-
24
PPE removal1. Designated de-gowning area is
preferred.2. Gowning down carefully.3. Avoid touching the external surface of
PPE.4. Perform hand hygiene immediately
after PPE removal and whenever contaminated.
5. PPE should not be worn / taken out of the workplace into non-clinical areas.
6. Disinfect reusable items and store properly to avoid recontamination.
7. Single used items should be properly disposed.

Decontamination – Patient Care Items1. Dedicated non-critical patient care items for
suspected and confirmed cases.
2. Clean and disinfect reusable equipment before used on other patients.- Use 1,000 ppm of hypochlorite solution (i.e. add
1 part of 5.25% hypochlorite in 49 parts of water) to disinfect non-critical items
- Use 70% alcohol on metallic surfaces
3. Reusable respiratory equipment should undergo high level disinfection before reused on other patients.
-
28
Decontamination - Environmental ControlDisinfect isolation and procedure rooms after use by a high risk patient
• Set up regular schedule of cleaning and disinfection of the environment and additional session for frequently touched surfaces.
• Use 1,000 ppm of hypochlorite solution (i.e. add 1 part of 5.25% hypochlorite in 49 parts of water) to disinfect facilities contaminated with body fluid, secretions and excretions.
-
29
If blood spills occur:- involve a small amount of blood,
• for non-metallic items (use one part of hypochlorite solution add in 49 parts of water)
• for metallic items (use 70% alcohol)
- involve large amount of blood,• should be removed by disposable material
soaked with one part of hypochlorite solution add in 4 parts of water before further cleaning and disinfection.
Decontamination - Environmental Control
-
30
Linen and laundry management1. Proper handling of soiled linen:
– Avoid sorting in patient care areas– Minimum agitation and shaking– Well pack soiled linen to prevent leakage– Wear appropriate PPE when handling soiled linen– Clean linen should be transported and stored
separately to prevent recontamination
2. Follow hospital policy
-
31
Waste Management1. All waste generated from isolation
room/ area housing patient(s) with SARS should be treated as clinical waste.
2. Wear appropriate PPE when handling clinical waste.
3. Waste should be placed in the bag without contaminating the outside surface of the bag.
4. Biohazard labeling
-
32
Screen clients with febrile respiratory illness and separate from immunocompromisedpatients
-

Using nebulizer that generate
aerosols is not recommended.
