44 What SARS taught us

45 A SARS isolation case study 1. Open bay 2. Wrong masks by providers 3. No gloves (right provider holding bed rail) 4. No gowns (white coats go room to room) 5. No eye protection (right provider has blood on face mask) 6. Chart goes back to a central area for others to handle A SARS patient receives treatment at a hospital in Guangzhou, China, in April 2003

46 Fear: Real time evolution of PPE Bronchoscope present, but also 1. PAPR + N-95 masks 2. Face shield + goggles 3. Double gowned 4. Double gloved An ICU patient in Toronto during the 2 nd wave of the SARS outbreak of 2003

76 Conclusions (1) With aerosol risks: Ordinary gown, gloves and mask were inadequate barriers Editors CMAJ 2006;175(3):254

77 Conclusions (2) With aerosol risks: Breaches in technique can result in selfcontamination even with a highly protective system. Editors CMAJ 2006;175(3):254

78 Conclusions (3) With aerosol risks: Right kind of protective outfit and the correct technique for its use and removal will be critical to prevent disease transmission. Editors CMAJ 2006;175(3):254

79 Casanova L, et al.: Virus transfer from personal protective equipment to healthcare employees' skin and clothing. Emerg Infect Dis 2008;14:

80 Casanova L, et al.: Following the CDC protocol often resulted in virus transfer to hands and clothing. An altered protocol or other measures are needed to prevent healthcare worker contamination

81 Un-Natural Transmission In the ED and ICU we aerosolize with our interventions what would have been droplets

82 Safer techniques to deliver oxygen?

83 Safer techniques to deliver oxygen? May increase spread of virus through high-flow delivery of oxygen using conventional masks

84 Ventilators Should contain HEPA filters in exhalation circuit Batteries Compressor Basic modes Can give PEEP 20 minimum
