Abstract:
During the prevention and control of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic, our hospital was a designated hospital for the treatment of COVID-19, and established the infection control system in the department of anesthesiology according to the clinical practice. The relevant staff of our hospital strictly followed the rules and procedures for operation, and no staff members were found to be infected by emergency surgical anesthesia performed in COVID-19 patients. The experience is summarized as follows: timely establishment and unified command of the emergency infection control management team in the department of anesthesiology; scientific formulation and dynamic improvement in comprehensive, systematic and feasible infection control strategies, norms and procedures; clear division of responsibilities and adequate management and supervision of infection control management team members; carrying out strict training of infection control, establishing a good awareness of infection control in the operating room, and implementing standard infection control procedures from the medical staff of the department to the cleaning staff.
