“…A recent publication discusses the use of a vitals monitoring system that, unfortunately, did not reduce the number of patient visits nor PPE use. 11 In this study, most of the staff were inexperienced with the CVM equipment that can lead to a lack of staff confidence. 12 …”

Introduction: The rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic increased hospital admissions and shortages for personal protective equipment (PPE) used to slow the spread of infections. In addition, nurses treating COVID-19 patients have time-consuming guidelines to properly don and doff PPE to prevent the spread. Methods: To address these issues, the Medical University of South Carolina repurposed continuous virtual monitoring (CVM) systems to reduce the need for staff to enter patient rooms. The objective of this study was to identify the economic implications associated with using the CVM program for COVID-19 patients. We employed a time-driven activity-based costing approach to determine time and costs saved by implementing CVM. Results: Over the first 52 days of the pandemic, the use of the CVM system helped providers attend to patients needs virtually while averting 19,086 unnecessary in-person interactions. The estimated cost savings for the CVM program for COVID-19 patients in 2020 were $419,319, not including potential savings from avoided COVID-19 transmissions to health care workers. A total of 19,086 PPE changes were avoided, with savings of $186,661. After accounting for cost of the CVM system, the net savings provided an outstanding return on investment of 20.6 for the CVM program for COVID-19 patient care. Conclusion: The successful and cost saving repurposing of CVM systems could be expanded to other infectious disease applications, and be applied to high-risk groups, such as bone marrow and organ transplant patients.

Patients with severe COVID-19 disease require monitoring with pulse oximetry as a minimal requirement. In many low- and middle- income countries, this has been challenging due to lack of staff and equipment. Wearable pulse oximeters potentially offer an attractive means to address this need, due to their low cost, battery operability and capacity for remote monitoring. Between July and October 2021, Ho Chi Minh City experienced its first major wave of SARS-CoV-2 infection, leading to an unprecedented demand for monitoring in hospitalized patients. We assess the feasibility of a continuous remote monitoring system for patients with COVID-19 under these circumstances as we implemented 2 different systems using wearable pulse oximeter devices in a stepwise manner across 4 departments.

“…Na pandemia do COVID-19 o uso de dispositivos para monitorar os pacientes vem ganhando forças nas enfermarias dos hospitais ( VAN GOOR et al, 2021). O programa de monitoramento ajuda a garantir segurança e as vias de cuidado durante a pandemia, evitando visitas ao hospital e garantindo o monitoramento dos sintomas.…”

Compreender o escopo da atuação de enfermagem diante do paciente com suspeita ou diagnosticado com COVID-19 a nível hospitalar, conhecer e analisar as evidências científicas, abordagens teóricas e conceituais sobre essa temática. Além de mapear os principais conceitos, clarificar áreas de pesquisa e identificar lacunas do conhecimento. Revisão de escopo baseada na metodologia proposta pelo Instituto Joanna Briggs. Foram analisadas as bases do Portal de Periódicos da Capes/MEC: Embase (Elsevier), CINAHL with Full Text (EBSCO), ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Cochrane Clinical Answers -CCA, Annual Reviews. Também as bases da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde: LILACS, MEDLINE e BDENF Enfermagem. Os descritores e booleanos utilizados foram: coronavírus OR coronavírus infections OR betacoronavírus OR SARS-coV-2 AND nursing OR nurses AND hospital AND pandemic. Foram incluídos no estudo 15 artigos científicos. A revisão evidenciou quatro categorias temáticas: Cuidados de enfermagem durante os estágios iniciais da pandemia e ao paciente com suspeita de COVID-19; Organização estrutural e cuidado integral do paciente com COVID-19; Estratégias e cuidados ao paciente com insuficiência respiratória e Monitoramento remoto e teleconsulta de enfermagem.
