cord-269825-k685efoh	Hu, Parker	Early comprehensive testing for COVID-19 is essential to protect trauma centers	2020-07-01		.txt	text/plain	3286	177	48	We recorded the daily number of trauma patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, the presence of clinical symptoms or radiological signs of COVID-19, and the results of verbal symptom screen (for new admissions). Positive verbal screen results, presence of ground glass opacities on admission chest CT, and presence of clinical symptoms were not significantly different in patients with or without SARS-CoV-2 infection (p > 0.05). [14] [15] [16] While the position is becoming well defined for those patients with known, established disease, there is little available data to guide trauma centers that may be required to treat significant numbers of asymptomatic infected new patients during this ongoing crisis. The screening and testing procedure in the trauma bay subsequently identified four additional SARS-CoV-2-infected patients. All new trauma patients should be regarded as SARS-CoV-2 positive until testing can be completed to minimize exposures to staff and limit nosocomial spread of disease.	./cache/cord-269825-k685efoh.txt	./txt/cord-269825-k685efoh.txt
