为医疗服务提供者提供指导,荒野用户,和旅行者,荒野医学会召集了一个专家小组,以制定基于证据的指南,用于在无法确保可用水的可利用性的情况下处理水,包括荒野和国际旅行,受灾害影响的地区,和其他没有适当卫生设施的地区。该指南提出了减少或消除个人水微生物污染的可用方法,groups,或家庭;对其有效性的评估;以及实际考虑。证据基础包括实验室和临床出版物。小组根据美国胸科医师学会发布的标准,根据支持证据的质量以及收益和风险/负担之间的平衡对建议进行分级。
To provide guidance to medical providers, wilderness users, and travelers, the Wilderness Medical Society convened an expert panel to develop evidence-based
guidelines for treating water in situations where the potability of available water is not assured, including wilderness and international travel, areas impacted by disaster, and other areas without adequate sanitation. The
guidelines present the available methods for reducing or eliminating microbiological contamination of water for individuals, groups, or households; evaluation of their effectiveness; and practical considerations. The evidence base includes both laboratory and clinical publications. The panel graded the recommendations based on the quality of supporting evidence and the balance between benefits and risks/burdens according to the criteria published by the American College of Chest Physicians.
