Among COVID-19 patients 18 to 35 years old who were previously in good health, as many as 20% experience prolonged symptoms, according to the World Health Organization. Complaints among so-called long-haulers include fatigue, shortness of breath, “brain fog” and depression. For patients whose illnesses required ICU care, post-intensive care syndrome (PICS) is an ongoing concern, particularly for those who experienced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

The study was carried out in 13 intensive care units across Europe, including the UK, with moderate to high levels of antibiotic resistance (extended resistance in more than 5% of all bloodstream infections). This fills an important gap in the evidence as most previous studies have been in units with lower levels of resistant organisms. Infections with multi-drug resistant gram-negative bacteria are a frequent problem for ventilated patients on intensive care wards. In this trial of 8,665 patients, the use of chlorhexidine mouthwash, selective digestive tract decontamination, or selective mouth and throat decontamination were compared to standard care, involving daily body washings with chlorhexidine and a hand hygiene improvement programme. The decontamination strategies were not associated with a significant difference in multi-drug resistant bloodstream infections, suggesting that they should not be used in the UK as a strategy to reduce antibiotic resistance in hospitals with similar extended resistance rates.

The aftermath of having the coronavirus can be as harrowing as the virus itself, especially because doctors have so little data thus far on the lingering effects of the illness. Recovering patients can experience everything from organ damage, to shortness of breath and decreased endurance, to mental health effects.

Over the same period technological advances have produced a range of portable, easy to maintain, reliable and efficient mechanical ventilators. As a result, children who have long-term breathing difficulties needing either temporary or permanent ventilatory assistance have an increased potential for survival and must be offered an integrated care pathway from hospital to home and coordination of Long Term Ventilation (LTV) specialist input across organisational boundaries.Children on long term ventilation are a high cost group with complex and varying underlying medical conditions requiring input from multiple teams, including among others, neonatal intensive care, paediatric intensive care, paediatric respiratory medicine, cardiology, ENT, spinal injury, neuromuscular and neurodisability specialists, as well as access to palliative care.Ventilation can be delivered via a tracheostomy (invasive ventilation) or through a mask or other device that is not directly connected to the airway (non-invasive ventilation). Most tracheostomy ventilated children start their journey in a critical care environment and have already had intensive medical input. Children on complex non-invasive ventilation often have underlying co-morbidities or associated life limiting illness, and these children require coordinationof care across the relevant specialisms within paediatric medicine, as well as a clear pathway of transition to adult services. Most children on long term ventilation progress to a point of medical stability where their clinical needs can be met outside of the hospital environment. However, children on invasive long term ventilation (LTV) or complex non-invasive ventilation can remain in an inappropriate intensive care or hospital environment while awaiting a home care package to be established in the community. Work is taking place nationally to improve discharge processes in order to reduce inappropriate lengths of stay. The scope of this specification covers children who have long term ventilation initiated on a Paediatric or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, regardless of whether the interface for delivery of that ventilation is mask or tracheostomy To view the PDF, Article, Photo, or Chart, Click Icon: To view the attached Video media file, Click Icon: PostICU, Inc's library staff reviewed this copyrighted material contained in the library and reasonably believes that its inclusion in our library complies with the "Fair Use Doctrine" because: (1) our library's is for nonprofit and educational purposes; (2) the nature of the copyrighted work is related to our mission; (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole is fair and reasonable; and (4) the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work will if impacted, should be enhanced, by its presence in our library.
