The highly rare, post-viral condition called Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) can develop about a month after SARS-CoV-2 infection and causes multiple organs to become painfully inflamed. The two girls, aged 9 and 10, and a 16-year-old boy were receiving treatment at the Kaplan Medical Center in the central city of Rehovot, Channel 13 reported on Thursday.

In the UK, a five-point National Health Service plan has allocated £10 million to support sufferers of long COVID through specialist clinics and an online rehabilitation service, alongside £20 million for National Institute for Health Research (NIHR)-funded research.4 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.

The pragmatic approaches outlined are intended to complement local protocols for nutritional care that may need to be adapted for use at this time. How challenges to providing nutritional care can be met will differ depending on local surge, availability and organisation of resources such as staff, skill mix and personal protective equipment (PPE).

The programme consisted of a 10 page self study module on risk factors and practice modifications involved in ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP, inservices at staff meetings, and formal didactic lectures. Each participant was required to take a pre-intervention test before the study module and an identical post-intervention test following completion of the study module. Fact sheets and posters reinforcing the information in the study module were also posted throughout the ICUs and the Department of Respiratory Care Services.

Author(s): Fontana, P., Casini, A., Robert-Ebadi, H., Glauser, F., Righini, M., & Blondon, M. Publisher or Source: Swiss medical weekly Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians,Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: Switzerland Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: Aims of the study: Many centres have noticed a high number of venous thromboembolism (VTE) events among critically ill inpatients with COVID-19 pneumonia. The aims of this study were (1) to summarise the reported risk of VTE associated with COVID-19 infections and (2) to summarise guidance documents on thromboprophylaxis in COVID-19 patients, in a systematic review. Methods: We systematically searched for peer-reviewed evidence on the risk of VTE in patients with COVID-19, in PubMed, Embase and Twitter, and for guidelines or guidance documents for thromboprophylaxis, from international or national societies relevant to the field of thrombosis and haemostasis, up to April 30 2020. Results: We found 11 studies (1 clinical trial, 7 retrospective cohorts and 3 prospective cohorts), which included a range of 16 to 388 in patients with COVID-19 (total of 1369 inpatients). The diagnoses of COVID-19 and VTE were of high quality, but the follow-up was often unclear. Most studies reported universal in-hospital thromboprophylaxis. Among all inpatients and among intensive care unit (ICU) inpatients with COVID-19, reported risks of VTE were 4.4–8.2% (three studies) and 0–35.3% (six studies), respectively. Two studies at least partially screened for VTE in ICU inpatients with COVID-19, and found risks of 24.7–53.8%. We found 12 guidelines for thromboprophylaxis of COVID-19 patients. The majority suggested universal pharmacological thromboprophylaxis in all COVID-19 inpatients, but there was heterogeneity in the suggested intensity of thromboprophylaxis: seven advised considering intensified doses of heparin according to the clinical or biological severity of the disease, especially in the ICU setting. Conclusions: Venous thromboembolism very commonly complicates the clinical course of inpatients with COVID-19, despite thromboprophylaxis. The risk appears highest among critically ill inpatients. We found no estimates of risks among outpatients. Many questions remain unresolved, as delineated by the heterogeneity of national and international guidelines. This situation calls for fast randomised clinical trials, comparing different schemes of thromboprophylaxis in COVID-19 inpatients.
