据我们所知，在这里，我们描述了2020年4月在德国发生的第一次医院范围的SARS-CoV-2疫情。我们旨在分享我们的经验，以促进医疗机构医院内新冠肺炎疫情的管理。所有患者和医院工作人员都进行了SARS-CoV-2的反复筛查。在边上安装了一个感染控制小组。启动了严格的患者空间隔离和加强卫生保健人员的卫生培训。截至报告时，26名患者和21名医院工作人员感染了老年科的聚集性病例。14名患者出现持续的新冠肺炎症状，5名有严重既往疾病的患者死亡。在实施了强化的感染控制措施后，疫情得到了成功的控制，在14天的时间里，没有发现患者中的进一步病例。在医院内SARS-CoV-2暴发疫情的管理中，严格应用标准的感染控制措施是成功的。本文的在线版本(10.1007/s42399-020-00597-2)包含向授权用户提供的补充材料。
To the best of our knowledge, here, we describe the first hospital-wide outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 that occurred in Germany in April 2020. We aim to share our experience in order to facilitate the management of nosocomial COVID-19 outbreaks in healthcare facilities. All patients and hospital workers were screened for SARS-CoV-2 repeatedly. An infection control team on the side was installed. Strict spatial separation of patients and intensified hygiene training of healthcare workers (HCW) were initiated. By the time of reporting, 26 patients and 21 hospital workers were infected with a cluster of cases in the geriatric department. Fourteen patients developed COVID-19 consistent symptoms and five patients with severe pre-existing medical conditions died. The outbreak was successfully contained after intensified infection control measures were implemented and no further cases among patients were detected over a period of 14 days. Strict application of standard infection control measures proved to be successful in the management of nosocomial SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks.
