During the medical rescue after the Wenchuan earthquake, in order to prevent hospital environmental pollution and cross infection, the nosocomial infection control committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University immediately initiated the emergency response plan, improved the triage system, and organized multi-disciplinary infection control groups to improve the triage of the wounded and the infection control of the emergency department. At the same time, we regulated the individual behavior of healthcare professionals and took appropriate measures for personnel protection so as to ensure the safety of both the wounded and healthcare professionals.
