- 流行病学 流行病学
背景情况:
- 传统上,与医疗保健相关的呼吸道同胞性病毒 (RSV) 监测侧重于在住院第三天后诊断的病例.
- 这种有限的范围可能低估了在医疗机构中获得的RSV感染的真实发病率.
- 其他医疗保健暴露,如从急性后护理设施的转移,往往被忽视.
研究的目的:
- 评估与医疗保健相关的RSV在人口层面的负担.
- 为了确定与医疗保健相关的RSV的发病率,使用一个扩展的定义,包括最近的医疗保健暴露.
- 为了突出医疗保健机构对RSV的认可不足.
主要方法:
- 使用美国RSV医院监测网络 (RSV-NET) 的数据进行了回顾性横截面研究.
- 从2016-2017年到2018-2019年,在田纳西州的一个流域中,对实验室确认的RSV相关住院病例的分析.
- 包括在住院前3天内呈阳性RSV检测的病例,与最近的急性护理后入院或非RSV疾病的急性护理出院有关.
主要成果:
- 在900例RSV相关住院病例中,4.6%符合医疗保健相关RSV的传统定义.
- 一个扩展的定义确定了另外10.6%的病例,总计15.2%与医疗保健相关的RSV.
- 这种扩展的方法揭示了与医疗保健相关的RSV负担比以前报告的要高得多.
结论:
- 呼吸道同胞性病毒 (RSV) 是一个未被认可的与医疗保健相关的感染.
- 综合监测必须包括最近的医疗保健暴露,以准确估计RSV负担.

Common Respiratory Disorders
181
Respiratory disorders, a prevalent health concern globally, are generally divided into two primary categories: upper and lower respiratory tract disorders. The categorization is based on the area of the respiratory system they affect.
Upper respiratory disorders impact the airways above the vocal cords, encompassing areas like the nose, sinuses, and throat. Various conditions fall under this category, including the common cold and allergic rhinitis. These disorders can stem from several causes,...

Acute Respiratory Failure-I
156
Acute respiratory failure is a condition characterized by the inability of the lungs to perform their primary function: gas exchange. This failure leads to insufficient oxygen levels (hypoxemia) in the blood, elevated carbon dioxide levels (hypercapnia), or both, causing critical impairment in organ function.
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...

Acute Respiratory Failure-V
113
The treatment for acute respiratory failure varies based on factors like the underlying cause, overall health, and severity. A collaborative healthcare team is essential for early detection, often through arterial blood gas analysis. Identifying the cause is the primary goal, with treatment strategies adjusted for ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, shunting, or diffusion impairment.

Acute Respiratory Failure-II
151
Type I Respiratory Failure, or hypoxemic respiratory failure, occurs when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in arterial blood falls below 60 mmHg while breathing room air without a corresponding increase in arterial carbon dioxide levels (PaCO2). This condition highlights a significant impairment in the lungs' capacity to oxygenate the blood.
The underlying physiological abnormalities that contribute to hypoxemic respiratory failure include:

Healthcare Associated Infections II: Preventive Measures
2.3K
Essential infection prevention measures are based on the knowledge of the infection chain, the modes of transmission in healthcare settings, and the use of the best practices in all healthcare settings. Compulsory public reporting of healthcare-associated infection rates is needed to allow individuals and the community to make informed choices regarding selecting a healthcare facility.
The best practices for preventing healthcare-associated infections include hand hygiene, patient risk...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic
3.9K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.
