The current pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) that led to an unprecedented crisis with significant health, social, and economic repercussions presented more serious concerns for those living with some chronic conditions such as epilepsy. This study was aimed to find out impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on management of epilepsy. A cross-sectional study was conducted through telephone interviews, targeting 213 caregivers of pediatric patients with epilepsy, belonging to underserved areas of Faisalabad, Punjab, Pakistan. A simple questionnaire was designed to record the responses of participants relevant to the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 pandemic and their knowledge about possible ways that can be accessed for the management of epilepsy during an ongoing pandemic. The current study, which holds 77% of the respondents from rural areas and 23% from urban settings, showed that partial measures of lockdown taken to stop or slow the spread of COVID-19 resulted in adverse economic and health outcomes in the said population including cancelation of follow-up visits, worsening of seizures, job loss, burden of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) costs, and discontinuation of medicines. Furthermore, knowledge about alternative ways to access health facilities was found very poor among caregivers. Income sources of poor people disrupted by lockdown can lead to unintentional nonadherence to medication, which is a clear picture of inequitable distribution of resources. This study highlights the major issues faced by the caregivers during this ongoing pandemic of COVID-19.

“…Sendo assim, a prática exige que o profissional possua conhecimento e experiência clínica maiores e mais aprofundados, bem como capacidade de obtenção das informações necessárias para que possa compreender o estado de saúde do paciente, e desta forma traçar uma hipótese diagnóstica, uma vez que não está presente para fazer o exame físico (Hamza et al, 2020).…”

As inovações na área da saúde têm revolucionado a relação médico-paciente. Nesse contexto, o avanço tecnológico mundial reforçou a importância da relação entre medicina e a tecnologia, e desta forma, a telemedicina surge como uma alternativa no enfrentamento a pandemia provocada pelo novo coronavírus. O objetivo é identificar os desafios que permeiam o uso da telemedicina e o impacto do distanciamento físico frente a relação médico-paciente durante a pandemia causada pela SARS-Cov-2. A busca identificou 24 artigos, dos quais 12 estavam repetidos e 4 fugiram da temática proposta. Sendo assim, após aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão pré estabelecidos, restaram 5 estudos. Entre as publicações selecionadas dois são artigos originais, dois são artigos de reflexão, e um de revisão. Em que, observou-se a prevalência de artigos na língua inglesa, representando 87,5% do total, quando comparada a língua espanhola (12,5%). Todos aqueles que foram eleitos para análise encontravam-se no ano de 2020. A tradicional relação entre o médico e o paciente é necessária para o desenvolvimento do diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção de várias doenças, contudo, esta sofreu modificações e inovações nos últimos tempos, principalmente devido o advento da Covid-19, que alterou essa relação. O estudo mostrou que ainda existem muitas barreiras a serem superadas no contexto da utilização da telemedicina no âmbito da saúde, prática apresenta alguns empecilhos quanto a sua realização, sobretudo quando há necessidade de um exame físico e a intervenção em condições mais sérias.

“…In addition, the patients can describe the symptoms they are presenting, allowing the physician to check whether there is a need for a face-to-face consultation, which limits the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. 14 In view of the pandemic setting, it is essential to develop strategies to reduce the exposure of patients who are part of the risk group, favoring and stimulating social distancing. 15 Minimizing the risk for transmission and reducing the impact of this pandemic depend on the collaborative effort of government, families and citizens.…”

Objective: to submit the experience lived in the care transition for hospital discharge of patients undergoing liver transplantation due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: an experience report on hospital discharge planning and care transition for patients undergoing liver transplantation at a teaching hospital. Results: after COVID-19 pandemic has been declared, several technological means were used to support self-care strategies at the time of the hospital-home transition, as well as remote care for patients focusing on doubts about the routine of care and treatments. In addition, new counterreferral strategies were structured, prioritizing safety and social isolation. Conclusion: the adjustments in care transition with the support of the technologies provided transplanted patients access to all the information that guides self-care. Likewise, they regulated the flow of the support network and the health network, decreasing the possibility for COVID-19 spread, infection and development.
