Well, I can tell you that from current precautions being taken, anything that would aresolize in a SARS patient's room is being stopped. i.e. no hand washing inside the room. Holding to the theory that the virus is the cause, they are saying that it stays live on surfaces for 24 hours. Anything that aresolizes could conceivably contaminate every surface in a patient's room and increase the possibility of transmission to care givers. Even the other day orders came through on patients' charts not to do chest percussions or 'cupping' for chest physio. SARS makes for a dry cough but other types of pneumonia are not dry and require chest physio. Even now, we are double gowning, double gloving, double masking, full face shields, microsan hand wash between phases of removal of layer inside and outside the door. Patients are all in negative pressure rooms.
