1. If an outpatient who has regular scheduled visits with the hospital has traveled within the last 10 days to an area of the world where there is SARS (eg. Hong Kong) and has a scheduled appointment with a department on their return what precautions should we take? If the outpatient does not have symptoms of SARS (fever more than 38 degrees Celsius and one or more of cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing) then no special precautions are required. You simply follow usual, good infection control practices as are used for all patients. If the patient has symptoms that are suspicious for SARS, then the patient should be instructed to wear a surgical mask and arrangements made to send him/her to the emergency room for assessment. While the patient is in your area, he/she should be placed in a single room with no other patients and the door kept closed. You should wear a N95 mask, gown, and gloves if you have direct contact with the patient. The emergency room must be contacted to tell them that the patient is coming to be evaluated for SARS and arrangements should be made to escort the patient to Emergency. Be sure to tell Emergency the patient’s name! Call infection control for further instructions.
Sorry, but N95 mask means airborne contagion.
