由SARS-CoV-2引起的冠状病毒19(COVID-19)已成为全球大流行病。内窥镜检查期间可能发生传播风险,目的是在为患者提供基本服务的同时防止医疗保健专业人员之间的感染。亚洲是第一个爆发COVID-19的大陆,亚太消化内镜学会的这份立场声明分享了我们在资源有限的情况下维持安全和高质量内镜实践的成功经验。来自亚洲主要消化内镜学会的16位专家受邀发表立场声明,包括内镜检查前的患者分流和风险评估、资源优先排序和分配、定期监测个人防护设备、感染控制措施、防护设备培训以及在COVID-19疫情得到控制后逐步恢复内镜服务的策略。
Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2 has become a global pandemic. Risk of transmission may occur during endoscopy and the goal is to prevent infection among healthcare professionals while providing essential services to patients. Asia was the first continent to have a COVID-19 outbreak, and this position statement of the Asian Pacific Society for Digestive Endoscopy shares our successful experience in maintaining safe and high-quality endoscopy practice at a time when resources are limited. Sixteen experts from key societies of digestive endoscopy in Asia were invited to develop position statements, including patient triage and risk assessment before endoscopy, resource prioritisation and allocation, regular monitoring of personal protective equipment, infection control measures, protective device training and implementation of a strategy for stepwise resumption of endoscopy services after control of the COVID-19 outbreak.
