SARS
Outbreak in Toronto (Canada) 267 people were admitted 21 deaths > 50 % = healthcare workers 3 Anesthetists , 1 Intensivist
![Page 3: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Infection control in Anesthesia Highly infectious disease Transmitted by coronavirus via contact or droplet Can live in environment up to 24 hour Malaise , Myalgia , Respiratory symptoms from dry
cough to respiratory failure
![Page 4: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Hand washing Routine hand washing Hand mediated transmission = major factor to cross
infection Effective hand decontamination significant reduction
in pathogens + infection Alcohol – based hand rubs : effective

Gloves
14.5 % routine use of gloves Blood contamination of surgeons’ hands
decrease from 13 % to 2 % with the use of double gloves
Advises double gloves Hands must be washed after degloving
![Page 6: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Face Masks
2 Functions Patient protetion by reduction risk of iatrogenic
infection Self protection by reducing risk of nosocomial
infection
Standard surgical face masks : 50% leak N95 masks : protecting 95% of particles >
0.3 microns , require routine fit testing PCM 2000 Tuberculosis masks , not
require fit testing

Patient transfer
Patients must be transferred directly into OR Transfer route should be discussed with
“Infection control” team member Patient must wear a face mask (N95) Transporters should adopt full droplet/contact
precautions Assistance (respiratory therapist) should be
provided for the anesthesiologist Ambu bags should be equipped with a small –
volume heat and moisture exchange filter
![Page 18: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Staff precautions
Staff should wear clean surgical scrubs laundered by the hospital (no personalized hats)
Minimize the number of individual staff members present
Hand washing for 15 seconds before and after patient care
Communicate with all levels of staff involved in the pt.’s care regarding the pt.’s SARS status
Clear the room of unnecessary or over stocked equipment
Post a “Droplets/Contacts” sign on OR doors to minimize traffic. Keep doors closed
![Page 19: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
On entry to OR
Maintain full droplet / contact precautions Gowns (front and back protected) Double gloves. Remove first pair after providing direct patient
care and before touching other areas of the room/ anesthesia machine
N95 or PCM 2000 mask must be worn with adequate seal A full face disposable plastic shield for eye
protection(goggles). It is recommended that staff stay minimum of 2 metres from
the patient to avoid droplet contamination

Intubating SARS patient
Apply all barrier precautions Apply N95 mask,goggles,disposable
protective footwear,gown and gloves.Put on the belt-mounted AirMate
Experienced anesthetist available to perform intubation
Standard monitoring , IV , instruments, drugs , ventilator and suction checked avoidnasal or esophageal probes , use axillary temp probe

At the end of the case Remove gloves , followed by gown + decontaminate
hands with alcohol for 15 seconds Remove face shield , followed by hair cover and wash
hands again Remove goggles then mask and wash hands again
with alcohol for 15 seconds Re-gown,glove,hair cover,mask & goggles Transfer patient to Post – anesthesia Care Unit
(Isolation room) Remove gown,gloves,goggles and mask prior to
exiting the isolation room Change surgical scrub suit as soon as practically
possible

Anesthesia equipment
Filters Small-volume heat and moisture enchange
filter (PAL filter) : hydrophobic membrane
Anesthetic circuits Disposable circle system,reservoir bag ,mask,
BP cuff , temp probe
Soda lime Soda lime does not need to be changed but
EtCO2 sample line with trap must be changed after the case
![Page 25: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Anesthesia equipment (2)
Drug cart Consider necessary for the entire case Place at least 2 metres from the operating table Avoid contamination
Machine / surfaces Place as far from the patient as practically
possible Avoid placement of contaminated equipment Discard needles and syringes immediately
![Page 26: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Intensive care
Requires full precautions Strict isolation in negative-pressure room Venturi-type masks should be avoided CPAP and BiPAP must be avoided Avoid procedures that induce coughing
![Page 27: Anesthesia & SARS British Journal of Anesthesia Volume 90, Number 6, June 2003.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050714/56649e0a5503460f94af24fa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Conclusions
Anesthetists must be rigorous about the application of standard precautions in everyday practice
In known or suspected SARS patient, full droplet and contact precautions must be applied.
