RESUMEN
En diciembre de 2019, un nuevo coronavirus (2019-nCoV) fue identificado como el agente etiológico de una enfermedad respiratoria aguda severa en personas expuestas a un mercado de mariscos en Wuhan, China; • La transmisión interhumana ha sido documentada, incluso en trabajadores de salud y los procedimientos generadores de aerosoles (PGA)† pueden tener un rol en la diseminación de la enfermedad; • Hay muchas incertidumbres respecto a la historia natural de la enfermedad por el 2019-nCoV, incluyendo fuente(s), los mecanismos de transmisión, la capacidad de diseminación del virus, y la persistencia del virus en el ambiente y fómites; • Al 06 de febrero de 2020, se recomiendan las siguientes precauciones para el cuidado del pacientes sospechosos o confirmados de 2019-nCoV‡ o Para cualquier caso sospechoso o confirmado de 2019-nCoV precauciones estándares + contacto + precauciones en la transmisión por gotitas o Para cualquier caso sospechoso o confirmado de 2019-nCoV y procedimientos generadores de aerosoles precauciones estándares + contacto + transmisión aérea (aerosoles o núcleo de gotitas) • El uso de equipos de protección personal (EPP) por los trabajadores de salud requiere de la evaluación del riesgo relacionada a las actividades de salud; • Estas recomendaciones son preliminares y sujetas a revisión hasta que nuevas evidencias estén disponibles.
ABSTRACT
In December 2019 a novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) was identified as the causative agent of a severe acute respiratory illness among people exposed in a seafood market in Wuhan, China; • Human-to-human transmission has been documented, including in healthcare workers, and aerosol-generating procedures (AGP)† may play a role in the spread of the disease; • There are uncertainties in the natural history of the 2019-nCoV, including source(s), transmissibility mechanisms, viral shedding, and persistence of the virus in the environment and on fomites; • As of 6 February 2020, the following precautions are recommended for the care of patients with suspected or confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV o For any suspected or confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV standard + contact + droplet precautions o For any suspected or confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV and AGP standard + contact + airborne precautions • The use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by healthcare workers requires an evaluation of the risk related to healthcare-related activities; • These recommendations are preliminary and subject to review as new evidence becomes available. The figures presented in this technical recommendation are rough estimates and based upon simulation exercises on the use of PPE during previous outbreaks with similar transmission modes, such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). • The number of PPE units should vary according to disease severity and the number of aerosol-generating procedures per patient. • Suspected and confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV should be isolated in adequately ventilated single rooms. When single rooms are not available, patients suspected of being infected with 2019-nCoV should be grouped together (cohort). • For each patient/day it is recommended§ o Gown ­ 25 units. o Medical mask ­ 25 units.
