Abstract
This article begins with a brief look at the epidemiology of SARS in Canada and then discusses barrier use and potential containment strategies that could be applied to the respiratory equipment and supportive procedures that have been implicated in the spread of SARS or other respiratory infections. The article ends with a discussion of how practice and regulations have changed in Canada since SARS and some suggestions on how practice or regulations could further improve.
