Background: Septic shock is a rapidly changing and fatal syndrome that can\ncause comprehensive deterioration of cardiopulmonary and renal function\nand multiple organ failure. At the same time, septic shock has the complex\nclinical manifestations and hemodynamics. PiCCO can accurately monitor\nblood flow, physical and volume indicators, and active and effective fluid resuscitation\nare important measures to reduce the fatality rate of septic shock\nand improve the prognosis of patients. Objectives: To explore the application\nand nursing of PiCCO in early fluid resuscitation in patients with septic shock.\nMethods: This was a retrospective observational study. The observation group\nand the control group each had 30 cases. The observation group used PiCCO\nto guide fluid resuscitation; the control group used conventional methods to\nguide fluid resuscitation. The changes in CVP, HR, MAP, and urine volume\nper hour were observed in the two groups. The changes of various indicators\nbefore and after fluid resuscitation, the length of stay in ICU and the mortality\nrate were compared between the two groups. All the outcomes were collected\nfrom the electronic medical case system after patientsâ?? discharge from\nthe hospital. Results: APACHE II, CVP, HR, MAP were compared between\nthe observation group and the control group, and the differences were statistically\nsignificant.......................
Objective: To explore the application of intelligent equipment in non-negative\npressure isolation ward for COVID-2019 patients. Method: From February 1\nto March 17, 2020, intelligent equipment, such as communication interaction\nsystem, intelligent disinfection robot, delivering robot, were used in nonnegative\npressure isolation ward of COVID-2019. With the help of communication\ninteraction system to supervise the implementation of infection prevention\nand control, and observe the incorrect situation of pee use and personal\nbehavior before and after the implementation. The disinfection robot\nand meal delivery robot were used in ward disinfection and life nursing combined\nwith nursing practice. Result: Through the supervision of communication\ninteraction system, the frequency of pee use and personal behavior was\nreduced. The frequency of bad articles before and after improvement was\nwearing protective clothing (2.80%/0.84%), taking off protective clothing\n(5.87%/0.84%), personal behavior observation (8.38%/1.90%),.............................
The period of existence and spread of Corona virus has led to the use of all\nmeans of remote education as an urgent necessity for all educational facilities,\nespecially universities. Aim: Therefore, it was necessary to study the impacts\nof online remote education on the learning process among nursing students\nthrough studying of two courses; health information management at 6th semester\nand gerontology nursing course at 4th semester. Tool of Data Collection:\nA modified questionnaire comprised of forty statements was used through\npaper-based survey and online survey. Sample: A total samples (224) of nursing\nstudents were participated in the survey who enrolled in 2019 and 2020\nspring semesters. Setting: The field of study was the nursing department of\nApplied Medical Science at Misr University for Science and Technology. Results:\nInduced positive impacts of online education on the learning process\nfor nursing students experience were proven as more than half of the students\n(53.9%) had prior experience on online system use, and more than two thirds\n(62.5%) were competent in mobile/computer applications. Almost, two thirds\n(59.3%) agreed about online assessment experience, except that the online\nexam was anxious, and the time was insufficient to answer all questions. Also,\nmore than two thirds (64.7%) agreed about the learning process of the two\nnursing courses. Conclusion: The study concluded that there were positive\nimpacts of online education system on the learning process for nursing students\nexcept that the students were.............................
Coronavirus is an RNA virus, which attacks the respiratory system causing complications including severe respiratory distress and\npneumonia and many other symptoms. Recently, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak emerged in Wuhan, which caused a\nsignificant number of infections in China and resulted in a global pandemic. The main aim of this study is to review and summarize\nthe evidence regarding the supportive role of physical rehabilitation techniques in managing COVID-19-associated pneumonia. In\nthis review, we also emphasize the use of rehabilitation techniques in the management of pneumonia in COVID-19-infected\npatients. Based on the evidence presented, we conclude that certain physical rehabilitation techniques and modalities could be of\ngreat support in the management of COVID-19-associated pneumonia. The safety of staff and patients when applying\nrehabilitation intervention requires attention. The combination of physical rehabilitation and medical treatment would result in\nimproved treatment outcomes, faster recovery, and shorter hospital stay. Many rehabilitation techniques are safe and feasible\nand can be easily incorporated into the management protocol of COVID-19 victims. Decisions of early rehabilitation induction\nshould be based on the patientâ??s medical condition and tolerability....
Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 outbreak is the first reported case in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and\nsuddenly became a major global health concern. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and\nControl, on August 4, 2020 the reported cases of coronavirus disease 2019 were 18,456,952 cases worldwide, 11,691,\n229 recovered with 697,719 deaths. Evidence on Burden, admission and outcome of Coronavirus Disease in 2019\namong Asthmatic patients has not been published in Africa. This research protocol will, therefore, be driven to\nconduct systematic review and meta-analysis of the Coronavirus Disease in 2019 burden, admission and outcome\namong Asthmatic patients in Africa.\nMethods: All observational studies among Asthmatic patients in Africa and written without language limitation will\nbe included. A search technique was applied using Databases (PubMed / MEDLINE, EMBASE, HINARI, Cochrane\nLibrary,....................................
Background: Although asthma is a serious public health concern in Zimbabwe, there is lack of information\nregarding the decision to seek for healthcare services among patients. This study aimed to determine the health\ncare seeking behaviour of adult patients with asthma attending Chitungwiza Central Hospital in Zimbabwe.\nMethods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 400 patients with asthma. A questionnaire with four\nthematic areas (i) patientsâ?? demographic characteristics, (ii) types of health seeking behaviours (iii) knowledge of\nasthma treatment and (iv) attitudes on asthma treatment was used.\nResults: We determined the sequence of remedial action that people undertake to rectify perceived ill health\ncommonly referred to as health care seeking behaviours in 400 adult patients with asthma. This behaviour was\nconsidered good if the patient sought care at the hospital/clinic and or private practitioners. Poor health seeking\nbehaviour was adjudged if patients sought no treatment, self-treated or resorted to traditional or faith healers for\ncare.................
