It is amazing the effect of the “Mexican Swine Flu” epidemic. The world is a much smaller place now. Not only is it the availability of medical care and medtravel easily across the globe that comes into play but also the immediate and easy spread of diseases across the globe , or at least fear of spread. It is not imaginary or out of place.
Along with this is the effect of a pandemic or even hint of a minor regional pandemic – even if contained on travel and economic concerns. Think of the SARS “epedemic “ in Toronto (Ontario ) Canada a few years back as an immediate model.
Sars hits Toronto with an aftermath
http://www.canadiancontent.net/commtr/sars-hits-toronto-aftermath_670.html
By Sven Eriksen
Canada has just finished battling a massive spread of a fatal respiratory illness known as SARS or severe acute respiratory syndrome. Following a first wave of patients with or suspected to have SARS, thousands were put into quarantine.
After around 30 individuals died from the illness, Canada became the worst hit place by SARS outside of Asia. The nation’s healthcare system was under heavy pressure to increase airport security by screening passengers for common SARS-related symptoms such as trouble breathing and high body temperature.
Toronto suffered from two waves of the SARS illness, making way for improved handling and increased security. Unfortunately, the first wave was not enough to implement changes across the board from hospitals to airports.
Canada is not the only one under heavy international pressure. Following a travel advisory by the WHO (World Health Organisation), the city of Toronto’s economy fell into a slump, affecting local business and tourist attractions.
How well is our government dealing with security? A country of nearly 10 times the population to the south has very effective avoided SARS and the recent madcow scare.
Problems originate within the training and hiring practices of government-funded services. Airport staff proved their capacity when costly heat detectors at Toronto Pearson Airport were not only not operational, but still packed away. Hospital staff were obviously severely underfunded when SARS went out of control infecting staff and patients until it was finally stopped. It was stopped, but then a second wave was allowed to happen, increasing the ever growing international criticism.
Federal, provincial and municipal governments are not working together, yet they are voted in for the people and by the people. Our system is in such a mess that overfunding and underfunding mean much the same thing. We’re not working very efficiently, madcow and SARS both proved that point.
The only way to avoid these things from happening again is reform by all levels of government, better airport measures, improved [not necessarily increased] hospital funding and more attention to the things that really matter to Canadians` health and wellbeing.
Update: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome — Toronto, Canada, 2003
Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was first recognized in Toronto in a woman who returned from Hong Kong on February 23, 2003 (1). Transmission to other persons resulted subsequently in an outbreak among 257 persons in several Greater Toronto Area (GTA) hospitals. After implementation of provincewide public health measures that included strict infection-control practices, the number of recognized cases of SARS declined substantially, and no cases were detected after April 20. On April 30, the World Health Organization (WHO) lifted a travel advisory issued on April 22 that had recommended limiting travel to Toronto. This report describes a second wave of SARS cases among patients, visitors, and health-care workers (HCWs) that occurred at a Toronto hospital approximately 4 weeks after SARS transmission was thought to have been interrupted. The findings indicate that exposure to hospitalized patients with unrecognized SARS after a provincewide relaxation of strict SARS control measures probably contributed to transmission among HCWs. The investigation underscores the need for monitoring fever and respiratory symptoms in hospitalized patients and visitors, particularly after a decline in the number of reported SARS cases.
During February 23–June 7, the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care received reports of 361 SARS cases (suspect: 136 [38%]; probable: 225 [62%]) (Figure 1); as of June 7, a total of 33 (9%) persons had died. Of 74 cases reported during April 15–June 9 to Toronto Public Health, 29 (39%) occurred among HCWs, 28 (38%) occurred as a result of exposure during hospitalization, and 17 (23%) occurred among hospital visitors (Figure 2). Of the 74 cases, 67 (90%) resulted directly from exposure in hospital A, a 350-bed GTA community hospital.
The majority of cases were associated with a ward used primarily for orthopedic patients (14 rooms) and gynecology patients (seven rooms). Nursing staff members used a common nursing station, shared a washroom, and ate together in a lounge just outside the ward. SARS attack rates among nurses assigned routinely to the orthopedic and gynecology sections of the ward were approximately 40% and 25%, respectively.
During early and mid-May, as recommended by provincial SARS-control directives, hospital A discontinued SARS expanded precautions (i.e., routine contact precautions with use of an N95 or equivalent respirator) for non-SARS patients without respiratory symptoms in all hospital areas other than the emergency department and the intensive care unit (ICU). In addition, staff no longer were required to wear masks or respirators routinely throughout the hospital or to maintain distance from one another while eating. Hospital A instituted changes in policy on May 8; the number of persons allowed to visit a patient during a 4-hour period remained restricted to one, but the number of patients who were allowed to have visitors was increased.
On May 20, five patients in a rehabilitation hospital in Toronto were reported with febrile illness. One of these five patients was determined to have been hospitalized in the orthopedic ward of hospital A during April 22–28, and a second was found on May 22 to have SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) by nucleic acid amplification test. On investigation, a second patient was determined to have been hospitalized in the orthopedic ward of hospital A during April 22–28. After the identification of these cases, an investigation of pneumonia cases at hospital A identified eight cases of previously unrecognized SARS among patients.
The first patient linked to the second phase of the Ontario outbreak was a man aged 96 years who was admitted to hospital A on March 22 with a fractured pelvis. On April 2, he was transferred to the orthopedic ward, where he had fever and an infiltrate on chest radiograph. Although he appeared initially to respond to antimicrobial therapy, on April 19, he again had respiratory symptoms, fever, and diarrhea. He had no apparent contact with a patient or an HCW with SARS, and aspiration pneumonia and Clostridium difficile--associated diarrhea appeared to be probable explanations for his symptoms. In the subsequent outbreak investigation, other patients in close proximity to this patient and several visitors and HCWs linked to these patients were determined to have SARS. At least one visitor became ill before the onset of illness of a hospitalized family member, and another visitor was determined to have SARS although his hospitalized wife did not.
On May 23, hospital A was closed to all new admissions other than patients with newly identified SARS. Soon after, new provincial directives were issued, requiring an increased level of infection-control precautions in hospitals located in several GTA regions. HCWs at hospital A were placed under a 10-day work quarantine and instructed to avoid public places outside work, avoid close contact with friends and family, and to wear a mask whenever public contact was unavoidable. As of June 9, of 79 new cases of SARS that resulted from exposure at hospital A, 78 appear to have resulted from exposures that occurred before May 23.

Editorial Note:
On May 14, 2003, WHO removed Toronto from the list of areas with recent local SARS transmission because 20 days (i.e., twice the maximum incubation period) had elapsed since the most recent case of locally acquired SARS was isolated or a SARS patient had died, suggesting that the chain of transmission had terminated. Before recognition of the second phase of the outbreak, the most recent case of locally acquired SARS in Toronto was reported before April 20. However, unrecognized transmission, limited initially to patient-to-patient and patient-to-visitor transmission, apparently was continuing in hospital A. After directives for increased hospitalwide infection-control precautions were lifted, an increase in the number of cases was observed, particularly among HCWs.
The findings from this investigation underscore the importance of controlling health-care–associated SARS transmission and highlight the difficulty in determining when expanded precautions for SARS no longer are necessary. Investigations in Canada and other countries have identified HCWs to be at increased risk for SARS, and methods for performing surveillance among HCWs have been recommended (2). The Toronto investigation suggests that unrecognized patient-to-patient and patient-to-visitor transmission of SARS might have been occurring with no associated cases of HCW illness until after a provincewide lifting of the expanded precautions for SARS. Transient carriage of pathogens on the hands of HCWs is the most common form of transmission for several nosocomial infections, and both direct contact and droplet spread appear to be major modes for transmitting SARS-CoV (3). HCWs should be directed to use gloves appropriately (e.g., change gloves after every patient contact and avoid their use outside a patient’s room) and to pay scrupulous attention to hand hygiene before putting on and after removing gloves.
In addition to active and passive surveillance for fever and respiratory symptoms among HCWs, early detection of SARS cases among persons in health-care facilities in SARS-affected areas is critical, particularly in facilities that provide care to SARS patients. Identifying hospitalized patients with SARS is difficult, especially when no epidemiologic link has been recognized and the presentation of symptoms is nonspecific. Patients with SARS might develop symptoms common to hospitalized patients (e.g., fever or prodromal symptoms of headache, malaise, and myalgias), and diagnostic testing to detect cases is limited. Available nucleic acid amplification assays for SARS-CoV have reported sensitivities as low as 50% (4). Although serologic testing for SARS-CoV antibody is available, definitive interpretation of an initial negative test requires a convalescent specimen to be obtained >21 days after onset of symptoms (5).
Several potential approaches for monitoring patients might improve recognition of SARS in hospitalized patients. A standardized assessment for SARS (e.g., clinical, radiographic, and laboratory criteria) might be used among all hospitalized patients with new-onset fever, especially for units or wards in which clusters of febrile patients are identified. In addition, some hospital computer information systems might allow review of administrative and physician order data to monitor selected observations that might serve as triggers for further investigation.
The Toronto investigation found early transmission of SARS to both patients and visitors in hospital A. In areas affected recently by SARS, clusters of pneumonia occurring in either visitors to health-care facilities or HCWs should be evaluated fully to determine if they represent transmission of SARS. To facilitate detection and reporting, clinicians in these areas should be encouraged to obtain a history from pneumonia patients of whether they visited or worked at a health-care facility and whether family members or close contacts also are ill. Targeted surveillance for community-acquired pneumonia in areas recently affected by SARS might provide another means for early detection of these cases.
The findings from the Toronto investigation indicate that continued transmission of SARS can occur among patients and visitors during a period of apparent HCW adherence to expanded infection-control precautions for SARS. Maintaining a high level of suspicion for SARS on the part of health-care providers and infection-control staff is critical, particularly after a decline in reported SARS cases. The prevention of health-care–associated SARS infections must involve HCWs, patients, visitors, and the community.

SARS outbreak in the Greater Toronto Area: the emergency department experience

Between February and September 2003 Health Canada reported 438 probable or suspect cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) resulting in 43 deaths1 primarily in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). The basic reproductive number of 2–4 suggested a primary mode of transmission through contact of mucous membrane with infectious respiratory droplets or fomites,2,3,4 although airborne transmission was also suggested.5 In Toronto, there were several “super-spreading” events, instances when a few individuals were responsible for infecting a large number of others. At least 1 of these events occurred in an emergency department,6 where overcrowding, open observation “wards” for patients with respiratory complaints, aerosol treatments, poor compliance with hand-washing procedures among health care workers and largely unrestricted access by visitors may have contributed to disease transmission.
We outline the process successfully followed by 4 Toronto emergency departments (at Mount Sinai Hospital, North York General Hospital, Sunnybrook and Women’s College Health Sciences Centre and the Hospital for Sick Children) involved in the assessment and treatment of 276 suspect and probable SARS cases between Mar. 13 and June 13, 2003, with no transmission to emergency department staff.
Modifications in operations
During the SARS outbreak the 3 emergency departments with respiratory isolation rooms initially assessed patients within existing facilities, and the 1 without such rooms triaged suspect cases to negative air pressure wards until a temporary isolation room in the emergency department was completed. One site subsequently constructed a large outdoor SARS assessment unit. Advance notification of the arrival of suspect cases allowed efficient use of isolation facilities.
General procedures for triage and management of patients in the emergency department during the SARS outbreak are outlined in Fig. 1 and Box 1. Patients who failed SARS screening were placed in respiratory isolation before any further assessment, including assessment of remaining vital signs. Suspect SARS cases sent to hospital by infection control were processed and often sent to the SARS ward immediately with no further interventions.
Modifications to daily operations were updated daily and notices posted by email and on bulletin boards. Procedure lists and protocols for donning and removing protective gear (Boxes 2 and 3) were posted, and equipment and garbage containers were arranged to facilitate compliance with SARS precautions. Non-essential equipment and furniture were removed from rooms to minimize contamination. Stethoscopes and other frequently used equipment were provided by the hospital and left in the rooms, whereas charts, pens and wireless phones were prohibited in rooms. Any equipment removed from rooms was disinfected using a hospital-approved disinfectant, and special policies were developed for cleaning patient rooms (Box 4).
Guards at entrances to the emergency departments restricted access to staff and emergency department patients only (no visitors or family), ensured compliance with protective measures and recorded names for contact tracing. A standardized hospital SARS classification governing patient transfers between institutions was developed by the SARS Provincial Operations Centre (www.oma.org/phealth/SARsCategories.htm) and significantly affected patient flow. Individual emergency departments were at times strained by large and unpredictable changes in patient volume when neighbouring institutions were closed because of uncontrolled exposure to or spread of SARS.
To accommodate increasing numbers of patients under investigation, some sites adjusted ventilation systems to create negative air pressure rooms (checked daily). All hallway stretchers were removed, and only 1 stretcher was permitted per room that had had multiple stretchers, which resulted in reduced emergency department capacity. As the outbreak came under control, a protocol was developed governing which patients could be separated only by a drape (i.e., those who were afebrile, passed SARS screening, were compliant with wearing approved masks and could be kept at least 1 m apart from each other). Protocols were developed to control patient movement (e.g., to radiology, wards, bathrooms), dispose of human waste and minimize the risk of SARS transmission associated with respiratory droplet aerosolization (e.g., through intubation with powered air-purifying respirator hoods, use of aerosolized therapies and pulmonary function testing) (Box 5).
Although some emergency departments in SARS-affected areas modified operations even more dramatically than the measures we describe,7 our experience suggests that the extra measures may not be required. The procedures we followed were protective against spread by respiratory droplets and fomites and were effective during several intubations and high-risk procedures.
Despite precautions, there were nonemergency department cases of SARS transmission in health care settings in Toronto,8 and these prompted control measures such as detailed guidelines for the management of high-risk airway procedures (www.health.gov.on.ca/english/providers/program/pubhealth/sars/sars_mn.html#1). The impact of these measures on emergency department practice is difficult to evaluate, and some measures remain controversial.
