CNN News:美国德克萨斯州一家医院发现埃博拉病毒确诊病例

Containing the Ebola virus. There`s an international scramble to do it. An update from the U.S. leads off this Tuesday show. As of last night, Thomas Eric Duncan, the first person diagnosed in the U.S. with Ebola was at a Texas hospital in critical condition.

说起埃博拉病毒，现在整个国际社会都在为解决这一难题做工作。来自美国周二更新的节目来看，昨天晚上，Thomas Eric Duncan，在德克萨斯州一家医院确诊感染埃博拉病毒，这是第一位在美国境内确诊的埃博拉患者。

The state`s governor Rick Perry wants the federal government to enhance its screening of travelers anywhere they might enter the U.S. Governor Perry wants quarantine stations installed, temperatures taken if Ebola exposure is suspected.

州长佩里希望联邦政府加强对出入境游客的检查。州长佩里希望检疫站安装检查装置，如果发现疑似埃博拉患者立刻进行体温检测。

It`s unlikely that would have stopped Thomas Eric Duncan from entering America, though, because his symptoms reportedly didn`t start until after he`d arrived.

这可能没有阻止Thomas Eric Duncan进入美国，因为在他到达美国之前体温检测并没有发现异常。

In a survey of American Nurses released last week, most said their hospitals were not prepared for Ebola patients.

在上周公布的对美国护士的调查发现，大多数护士表示他们的医院并没有对埃博拉患者提供准备工作。

Kyung Lah found a facility that says it is.

Kyung Lah发现种种设施表明确实像他们说得一样。

The first line of defense if there`s an Ebola outbreak in the United States will be the nation`s hospitals. So, do they have a plan?

第一道防线为，如果美国爆发埃博拉疫情的地点为国家医院，他们会有一个行动方案吗?

At this one, they do.

在这一点上，他们确实做到了。

The patient will most likely come into the emergency room. And what this hospital, the Los Angeles County USC Hospital here in Los Angeles, what they`ve put into place, is essentially an action plan.

这些病人大多数都会被送往急诊室，这个医院，洛杉矶南加州大学医院，他们已经做好准备工作，本质上是一个行动计划。

The patient walks into the emergency room. You always check in. One of the first things they ask if it looks like the patient has a fever or sweating, is nauseous, maybe even vomiting, did you travel to West Africa? And there are signs all over this hospital saying that if you`ve traveled to West Africa in the last three weeks, you need to check if you have Ebola.

病人会进入急诊室，你需要检查几件事情。其中一件事情就是病人有没有发热或者出汗迹象，或者恶心，甚至呕吐迹象。然后问一个问题，你曾经去过西非?在这家医院所有迹象表明，如果在过去的三个星期里曾经去过西非国家，你需要仔细检查一下自己是否感染埃博拉病毒。

So, that kicks their action plan into place. They then transport that person to an isolation room, and it`s exactly like what it sounds. You don`t have contact with anyone except people who are prepared to deal with the patient who has Ebola.

所以这就会让行动计划开始展开进行。然后他们会把病人转移到隔离室，真的就把患者隔离了起来。你不需要与任何人进行接触，除了那些准备治疗感染埃博拉病毒的工作人员。

So, what does a worker do before walking into isolation room to deal with a potential Ebola case? They have to cover themselves from head to toe.

那工作人员进入隔离室之前需要做些什么呢?他们需要浑身上下全部武装起来，从头到脚。

They wear a masque, they cover their eyes, they wear a gown that is water impermeable, so that no fluids can affect that hospital workers. They cover their feet and they cover their hands. And before they do any of that, they wash their hands for 15 seconds.

他们会戴着面具遮住眼睛，穿着防水工作服，这样病毒就不会接触到工作人员。然后把手和脚也都掩藏号，在他们着装之前，需要仔细清洗手部达15秒时间。

Once they are in the isolation room they have to mark when they enter, they also mark when they leave.

一旦他们进入隔离室，进去之前需要登记，出来的时候也需要登记。

That is the case for anyone who walks into that isolation room. They follow CDC guidelines if the patient is very sick, they double glove, they double gown, they basically isolate everyone who comes in who is a suspected Ebola case. Has it happened yet here in California? No. Do they expect that it might? Possibly. And they say with this case in Dallas, this hospital has to be prepared.

这是每个进入隔离室工作人员必须遵循的程序。他们按照疾病控制与预防中心的指导方针行动，如果患者病情严重的话，他们需要戴双层手套，穿双层工作服，如果是埃博拉病毒疑似患者的话，他们基本上都是不可以与任何人有接触的。那么在加利福尼亚这种病例已经发现了吗?答案是没有。他们认为这种事情发生吗?也有可能。他们说，这种病例在达拉斯出现过，这家医院已经做好准备工作。
