在疫情大流行時執行冠狀動脈介入治療?心導管室因應新冠肺炎之可行模式

Performing a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in the Pandemic? A Paradigm for a Catheterization Laboratory Responding to Covid-19

摘要


面對新冠病毒等具高度傳染力經氣體傳播的呼吸道疾病,負壓隔離病房是減少病毒擴散造成院內群聚感染的必要設施。當新冠肺炎患者發生急性心肌梗塞,必須為其執行介入性心導管治療以減少其死亡威脅,團隊的現實困境,就是無負壓心導管室。我們以現有的心導管室空間與空調設施,進行以下幾項測試,以尋找可行解決辦法。第一,病人進入檢查室之前即必須暫時關掉空調設備的運轉,進行心導管儀器的耐溫測試;第二,醫療人員著雙層防護具加鉛衣後是否對正常臨床反應靈敏度有影響,進行SpO2監測評估;第三,發煙管進行檢查室壓差測試。以上幾項發現:第一項結果檢查室與機械室在個別獨立空調情況下,關掉檢查室空調90分鐘後,儀器運轉的平均溫度為攝氏20.14±0.93度(°C),平均濕度為57.64±1.86(%),皆在建議條件的攝氏18-30度(°C)和35-70(%)以內。第二項結果接受測試的醫療人員,年齡分別為60y/o及30y/o,經90分鐘的穿戴防護監測;於35分鐘時呼吸稍不順暢,於60分鐘時額頭明顯濕潤,於80分鐘時背部開始流汗,但無體力不堪負荷的情況,SpO2皆維持96%以上。第三項結果發煙管的煙從控制室往檢查室內流動,證實具相對負壓效果。結果顯示,複合心導管室的雙獨立空調,經暫時關閉檢查室空調下持續操作心導管90分鐘,具相對負壓、可容許儀器耐溫、醫療人員穿戴防護衣也無體力透支。雖無負壓心導管室,我們的因應措施,可兼顧心導管正常運轉與醫療人員安全防護,足以在類似武漢疫情下擔負起介入性治療的救命任務。

The face of air-born, highly contagious respiratory diseases, such as Covid-19, the negative-pressure isolation room is one of important strategies for prevention of in-hospital transmission. Nevertheless, there is no "negative-pressure" Catheterization Laboratory among 26 medical centers in Taiwan. With this real limitation, encountering Covid-19 heart attack patient can be truly a challenge and also a dilemma for a life-saving percutaneous coronary intervention. In response to this situation, we postulated a practical model and tested the feasibility with three aspects as following: firstly, we turned off the air-condition of the examination room and performed the temperature and humidity test; secondly, we checked the reactivity and responsiveness of interventionalists on personal protective equipment that was added on their ordinary protection garments; thirdly, we used air-flow test tubes to determine the direction of air flow against the examination room. The results: first, at 90 minutes after turning off the air-conditioning of the examination room, which was separately with the machine room, the operation temperature and humidity was 20.14 ± 0.93°C and 57.64 ± 1.86 %, respectively and were within the appropriate operation temperature and humidity for the equipment; secondly, the oxygen saturation was above 96% for young (30 y/o) and middle aged (60 y/o) interventionalists with normal reactions, and sweating without exhaustion; third, the direction of the air flow shown by white smoke in the testing was from the operation room into the examination room, indicating that a negative pressure had been created in this paradigm. According to the above results, temporary turning of air-conditioning of the examination room for 90 minutes creates a negative pressure effect in air flow, with temperature and humidity tolerable for equipment operation, and endurable for interventionalists performance. In conclusion, this is a paradigm that can secure both health providers and the operation equipment at a Catheterization Laboratory while performing a life-saving coronary intervention in the pandemic such as Covid-19.
