Insights

Surgical activities require careful evaluation during the COVID-19 pandemic to conserve resources and prevent hospital infections. This review offers suggestions for managing surgical issues during the global health emergency.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Surgical Management

Background:

  • The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has escalated into a global epidemic, declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern by the WHO.
  • As of April 12, 2020, over 1.7 million confirmed cases and 105,000 deaths were reported worldwide.
  • The pandemic necessitates careful consideration of surgical activities to optimize limited medical resources and minimize nosocomial infections.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing studies on surgical activities during the COVID-19 outbreak.
  • To share current experiences and insights.
  • To provide practical recommendations for surgical management during the pandemic.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of available literature on surgical practices during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Analysis of clinical experience from managing surgical cases during the outbreak.
  • Synthesis of findings to formulate evidence-based suggestions.

Main Results:

  • The review highlights the critical need for resource optimization in surgical settings.
  • Minimizing hospital-acquired infections is a key concern.
  • China's experience in epidemic control offers valuable lessons.

Conclusions:

  • Careful evaluation and strategic planning of surgical activities are essential during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Implementing infection control measures is paramount to protect patients and healthcare workers.
  • The study provides a framework for addressing surgical challenges in a pandemic context.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease V: Surgical Management

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.
Here are some common surgical interventions for IBD:

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Urinary Tract Calculi VI: Surgical Management

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
