Title: Screening and managing of suspected or confirmed novel coronavirus (COVID-19) patients: experiences from a tertiary hospital outside Hubei province Document date: 2020_3_23
ID: nz02frdm_49
Snippet: Interestingly, active screening of 802 people presenting to our hospital's fever clinic because they were concerned they had COVID-19 did not detect any confirmed cases during this outbreak. If we had focused all resources on screening outpatients at the fever clinic, we would have missed important in-hospital risks. We strongly recommend that screening resources should focus on self-presenting patients, hospital visitors and inpatients. Furtherm.....
Document: Interestingly, active screening of 802 people presenting to our hospital's fever clinic because they were concerned they had COVID-19 did not detect any confirmed cases during this outbreak. If we had focused all resources on screening outpatients at the fever clinic, we would have missed important in-hospital risks. We strongly recommend that screening resources should focus on self-presenting patients, hospital visitors and inpatients. Furthermore, the rapid establishment of the ability to test nucleic acid of SARS-CoV-2 using RT PCR in our hospital greatly shortened turn-around time and was beneficial in that it allowed early isolation and control of high-risk patients and discharge of low-risk (negative) patients.
