COVID-19 and palliative care

Nida Aydın

Abstract: Pozitif vaka ve ölüm oranlarının arttığı COVID-19 pandemisinde, tıbbi tedaviye duyulan ihtiyacın, sağlık sistemi ve özellikle de yoğun bakım ünitesi kapasitesini aşması beklenmektedir. Sağlık çalışanları, hayatta kalma şansı daha yüksek olan hastalar için yoğun bakım ünitesi bakımına ve ventilatör desteğine öncelik verme konusunda zor etik kararlarla karşı karşıyadır. Palyatif bakımın COVID-19 pandemi planlamasına entegrasyonu, sağlık hizmeti sağlayıcılarını öngörülemeyen durumlara hazırlanmak ve gereken kayna… Show more

Aim:The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of medical device-related pressure injuries in COVID-19 patients. Material and Method:This study was conducted with a cross-sectional and retrospective design. The data of 436 patients who were followed up and treated in the Anesthesia and Reanimation Intensive Care Unit with the diagnosis of COVID-19 disease between 11.03.2020-31.02.2021 in a Training and Research Hospital in İstanbul were included in the study. The sample of the study consisted of 32 patients out of 436 patients who met the sampling criteria. The data obtained by retrospective reviewing of the patient records were analyzed through the "Patient Information Form" and "Pressure Injury Stage" forms.Results: Medical device-related pressure injury developed in 32 (7.3%) of 436 patients examined in the study on the specified dates. 90.6% of these patients were male, and the average age was 67.5. 43.7% had comorbid diseases. According to the Braden Risk Assessment Scale, 25% of these patients had medium and 71.8% high risk. Medical devices that cause pressure injury were continuous positive airway pressure mask (n=13), intubation tube (n=7), nasogastric tube (n=5), nasal cannula (n=3), gel pads (n=3), and oxygen mask (n=1). Conclusion:In this study, the potential factors in the study that may have led to the incidence of medical device-related pressure injury specific to COVID-19 disease include the rapid increase in the need for respiratory support, ischemia caused by this infection, and the use of prone position.

Is there a correlation between complete blood count parameters and nutritional risk score 2002, geriatric nutritional risk index and nutric score in geriatric patients admitted to intensive care unit. Anatolian Curr Med J 2022; 4(1); 89-94. ASBTRACTAim: Malnutrition is a common condition especially in geriatric patients admitted to intensive care. There are various screening tools to be used in the evaluation of nutritional status in geriatric patients hospitalized in intensive care. However, a laboratory test has not been found yet for nutritional status assessment. With this study, we aimed to investigate whether there is a correlation between NLR, PLR, and complete blood count parameters at the time of admission to the intensive care unit and NRS-2002, GNRI, and mNutric Score measured in the intensive care unit. Material and Method: This retrospective study was performed in a tertiary intensive care unit of a Chest Diseases Hospital. Patients aged 65 and over were included in the study. Demographic data, length of stay in intensive care, complete blood count on the day of admission to the intensive care unit, albumin value, NLR, PLR, NRS-2002, GNRI, and mNutric Score values were recorded. Results: A total of 218 geriatric patients were analyzed. It was determined that 72.5% of the patients were at medium/high risk in terms of nutritional risk according to the GNRI classification, 76.6% were at high risk according to NRS-2002, and 84.9% were at high risk according to the mNutric score. According to the GNRI, the MPV values were statistically significantly higher (p<0.05). According to the biserial correlation analysis, there is a statistically significant correlation between GNRI and MPV in the positive direction (p<0.05). The cut-off value for MPV was determined as 7.895 in terms of nutritional risk assessment Conclusion: It was observed that the majority of geriatric patients in the intensive care unit were at high risk for malnutrition according to nutritional scores. It was determined that the MPV value of the patients in the intermediate/high-risk group for GNRI was significantly higher and there was a positive correlation between MPV and GNRI. The cut-off value for MPV was determined as 7.895 in terms of nutritional risk assessment. We think that MPV can be used practically in nutritional risk scoring in geriatric patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit.
