Identify-Isolate-Inform: A Tool for Initial Detection and Management of Measles Patients in the Emergency Department	2015-03-18		.txt	text/plain	2864	172	52	title: Identify-Isolate-Inform: A Tool for Initial Detection and Management of Measles Patients in the Emergency Department The "Identify-Isolate-Inform" tool will assist emergency physicians to be better prepared to detect and manage measles patients presenting to the emergency department. Emergency physicians must rapidly inform the local public health department and hospital infection control personnel of suspected measles cases. Following a brief review of measles, this paper describes the novel 3I tool, initially developed for Ebola virus disease, 4 as adapted for use in the initial detection and management of measles patients in the emergency department (ED). During a measles outbreak, after donning appropriate respiratory protection, emergency physicians (EP) should carefully assess the oropharynx in patients presenting with non-specific viral syndromes and assess for the presence of Koplik spots. 12 Conversely, patients with signs and symptoms of measles (prodrome of fever, cough/coryza/conjunctivitis, Koplik spots followed by rash), should be immediately masked and isolated using airborne precautions.	./cache/cord-256849-8w2avwo2.txt	./txt/cord-256849-8w2avwo2.txt
