High-Risk Transports: A New Ambulance Controls for Infectious and Contaminated Patients

摘要

In 2014 Southern California, like many areas of the United States, intensified planning and response to deal with potential Ebola patients arriving from affected West African countries, where more than 11,000 people eventually died. These efforts were tested in real life by 10 persons under investigation who were transported and/or evaluated over nine months, causing significant impacts to emergency departments, public health agencies, and the private and public components of the 9-1-1 system.
