Publisher or Source: Heart and Lung Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: General Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: One thing that did not make to the spotlight in this COVID-19 pandemic is a question that what happens to the COVID-19 patients after they are discharged from the critical care? A common assumption around the world is that once a patient is discharged from the hospital and is tested negative the problem is resolved. This may be based on a relative lack of information and knowledge, even among the health care professionals, regarding a condition described as Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS). PICS may be a next public health crisis that we may face when this acute form of COVID-19 crisis settles down a bit.

Klonoff, Bruce Buckingham, Jens S. Christiansen, Victor M. Montori, William V. Tamborlane, Robert A. Vigersky, Howard Wolpert Publisher or Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians,Nurses and/or Other Critical Care Medical Professionals Country of Origin: United States of America (the) Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Objective: The aim was to formulate practice guidelines for determining settings where patients are most likely to benefit from the use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Participants: The Endocrine Society appointed a Task Force of experts, a methodologist, and a medical writer. Evidence: This evidence-based guideline was developed using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system to describe both the strength of recommendations and the quality of evidence. Consensus Process: One group meeting, several conference calls, and e-mail communications enabled consensus. Committees and members of The Endocrine Society, the Diabetes Technology Society, and the European Society of Endocrinology reviewed and commented on preliminary drafts of these guidelines. Conclusions: The Task Force evaluated three potential uses of CGM: 1) real-time CGM in adult hospital settings; 2) real-time CGM in children and adolescent outpatients; and 3) real-time CGM in adult outpatients. The Task Force used the best available data to develop evidence-based recommendations about where CGM can be beneficial in maintaining target levels of glycemia and limiting the risk of hypoglycemia. Both strength of recommendations and quality of evidence were accounted for in the guidelines.
