T/NBPIA 004-2020 Blood purification room standard for prevention and control of COVID-19

Scope

Scope: This standard specifies the general requirements for preventing cross-infection with COVID-19 in blood purification rooms, the management requirements for infection sources, the management requirements for potential transmission routes, the management requirements for susceptible populations, and the implementation of inspections in blood purification rooms. This standard applies to blood purification rooms set up within medical institutions and those set up independently from medical institutions. This standard does not apply to legal bases for judging medical disputes. Main technical content: Blood purification patients are susceptible to COVID-19. Due to their physical weakness, multiple complications and comorbidities, low immunity, and the need to share common areas and be in densely populated environments during hemodialysis, respiratory transmissible diseases are highly likely to outbreak and spread in blood purification rooms. Compared with the general population, the problems encountered in medical observation or isolation treatment of blood purification patients are much more complex. This standard formulates prevention and control norms in blood purification rooms based on the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19, with the aim of preventing and controlling the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in blood purification rooms during the pandemic. The standard establishes strict management of infection sources and transmission routes and effective protection of susceptible populations to prevent and control the occurrence and spread of COVID-19 in blood purification rooms. The implementation of this standard can avoid cross-infection with COVID-19 in blood purification rooms; limit it to the minimum scope within blood purification rooms, and maximally protect blood purification patients.
