Measures to Prevent Healtcare Workers from Contracting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome During High-Risk Surgical Procedures	2004-01-08		.txt	text/plain	1584	87	55	When the operations were performed, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC; Atlanta, Ga., USA) had not yet prepared guidelines for the prevention of SARS transmission during Caesarean sections. For the three Caesarean sections performed on mothers with SARS, the number of healthcare workers was limited to a minimum, with only those personnel essential to carry out the operation, neonatal resuscitation, and cleanup being involved (i.e., 2 senior obstetricians, 2 senior neonatologists, 1 senior anaesthetist, 1 theatre assistant, a team of 4 senior midwives, and 2 cleansing staff). The participating HCWs wore appropriate PPE according to the hospital's guidelines prior to the arrival of the patient from the intensive care unit. In conclusion, the procedures described above were sufficient to prevent our healthcare workers from contracting SARS while performing these very high-risk operations.	./cache/cord-268750-kox3uah2.txt	./txt/cord-268750-kox3uah2.txt
