| |
| | |
| ==Evaluation Pathways==
| |
| *Divide the ED into different sections based on risk of having/transmitting COVID-19
| |
| **Red/Dirty/Hot zone
| |
| **Yellow/Intermediate/cool zone (optional)
| |
| **Green/Clean/Cold zone
| |
| *Set PPE levels for each section [[Prevention of COVID-19 transmission in the healthcare setting|IPC for COVID]]
| |
| *Control movement between sections by limiting ingress/egress routes.
| |
| *Consider having all patients wear surgical masks and perform hand hygiene despite symptoms.
| |
| ===Screening<ref>https://asprtracie.hhs.gov/technical-resources/119/covid-19-hospital-triage-screening-resources/99</ref>===
| |
| *Preferably outside of the ER
| |
| *Goal is to prevent them from being cohorted with non-COVID patients
| |
| *Funnel into each of your zones
| |
| *Screening Criteria - Any of the following positive, route to "red/dirty/hot/infected" side of the ED
| |
| **Exposure to COVID patient recently with symptoms
| |
| **Symptoms - fever, respiratory symptoms, Chest pain, GI symptoms, malaise, fatigue
| |
| **Signs
| |
| ***toxic appearance, AMS
| |
| ***If performing vitals at screening - fever, hypoxia, tachypnea
| |
| *All those without the above go to Yellow/Green
| |
| | |
| ===Triage/Risk Stratification===
| |
| *Mild illness
| |
| **Well appearing
| |
| **No hypoxia (SPO2 ≥94%)
| |
| **No tachypnea (RR≥22)
| |
| **No concerning GI or Other symptoms
| |
| *Moderate/Severe illness
| |
| **Hypoxia
| |
| **Tachypnea
| |
| **Ill-appearing + [[Template:COVID Risk Factors|COVID Risk Factors]]
| |
| **Other reasons needing admission
| |
| ===Evaluation for Disposition===
| |
| *Mild illness
| |
| **Discharge as appropriate
| |
| **Consider Exertional O2Sat
| |
| ***1 minute walking in place briskly.
| |
| ***Failure = 02Sat<90 OR inability to complete test
| |
| *Moderate illness
| |
| **02 via NC Sat>90%
| |
| **Attempt bronchodilator use
| |
| **Antipyretics
| |
| **CXR
| |
| **Evaluate for non-COVID causes of illness as indicated
| |
| ***Re-evaluate for discharge if improved
| |
| *Severe illness - Admission
