Post-COVID conditions can occur in patients who had varying degrees of illness during acute infection, including those who had mild or asymptomatic infections. Medical and research communities are still learning about these post-acute symptoms and clinical findings. Post-COVID conditions are being referred to by a wide range of names, including post-acute COVID-19, long-term effects of COVID, long COVID, post-acute COVID syndrome, chronic COVID, long-haul COVID, late sequelae, and others, as well as the research term post-acute sequalae of SARS-COV-2 infection (PASC).external icon Although standardized case definitions are still being developed, in the broadest sense, it can be considered a lack of return to a usual state of health following acute COVID-19 illness. It might also include development of new or recurrent symptoms that occur after the symptoms of acute illness have resolved. Scientific knowledge is still limited about these effects, including what causes them and how often they occur. Interim terminology will be updated as more information becomes available.

Keane Publisher or Source: Journal of Traumatic Stress Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians, General Medical Professionals, Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Several interviews are available for assessing PTSD. These interviews vary in merit when compared on stringent psychometric and utility standards. Of all the interviews, the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (UPS-1) appears to satisfy these standards most uniformly. The CAPS-1 is a structured interview for assessing core and associated symptoms of PTSD. It assesses the frequency and intensity of each symptom using standard prompt questions and explicit, behaviorally-anchored rating scales. The CAPS-1 yields both continuous and dichotomous scores for current and lifetime PTSD symptoms. Intended for use by experienced clinicians, it also can be administered by appropriately trained paraprofessionals. Data from a large scale psychometric study of the CAPS-1 have provided impressive evidence of its reliability and validity as a PTSD interview.

The demand for intensive care is projected to rise because of an aging population with complex comorbidities and the expanded use of advanced healthcare treatments, and as a result, the number of ICU survivors will rise . Survivors of critical illness require early identification of symptoms and early interventions to decrease symptom burden and enhance their quality of life. Redesign of post-ICU care management and post acute care delivery systems is needed to engage ICU survivors in self-care, monitor for early signs of deteriorating health, intervene early, and reduce costs. As new value-based payment models for medical services increasingly take hold, financial incentives will also need to align with rehabilitation-oriented services in this population with greater focus on post-ICU care.

Airway management of patients with COVID-19 is high risk to staff and patients. We aimed to develop principles for airway management of patients with COVID-19 to encourage safe, accurate and swift performance. This consensus statement has been brought together at short notice to advise on airway management for patients with COVID-19, drawing on published literature and immediately available information from clinicians and experts. Recommendations on the prevention of contamination of health care workers, the choice of staff involved in airway management, the training required and the selection of equipment are discussed. The fundamental principles of airway management in these settings are describedfor: emergency tracheal intubation; predicted or unexpected difficult tracheal intubation; cardiac arrest; anaesthetic care; and tracheal extubation. We providefigures to support clinicians in safe airway managementof patients with COVID-19. The advice in this document is designed to be adapted in line with local workplacepolicies.
