SARS-CoV-2 analysis on environmental surfaces collected in an intensive care unit: keeping Ernest Shackleton's spirit. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

Article Abstract

Background: Intensive care unit workers are at high risk of acquiring COVID-19 infection, especially when performing invasive techniques and certain procedures that generate aerosols (< 5 μm). Therefore, one of the objectives of the health systems should implement safety practices to minimize the risk of contagion among these health professionals. Monitoring environmental contamination of SARS-CoV-2 may help to determine the potential of the environment as a transmission medium in an area highly exposed to SARS-CoV-2, such as an intensive care unit. The objective of the study was to analyze the environmental contamination by SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces collected in an intensive care unit, which is dedicated exclusively to the care of patients with COVID-19 and equipped with negative pressure of - 10 Pa and an air change rate of 20 cycles per hour. Furthermore, all ICU workers were tested for COVID-19 by quantitative RT-PCR and ELISA methods.

Results: A total of 102 samples (72 collected with pre-moistened swabs used for collection of nasopharyngeal exudates and 30 with moistened wipes used in the environmental microbiological control of the food industry) were obtained from ventilators, monitors, perfusion pumps, bed rails, lab benches, containers of personal protective equipment, computer keyboards and mice, telephones, workers' shoes, floor, and other areas of close contact with COVID-19 patients and healthcare professionals who cared for them. The analysis by quantitative RT-PCR showed no detection of SARS-CoV-2 genome in environmental samples collected by any of the two methods described. Furthermore, none of the 237 ICU workers was infected by the virus.

Conclusions: Presence of SARS-CoV-2 on the ICU surfaces could not be determined supporting that a strict cleaning protocol with sodium hypochlorite, a high air change rate, and a negative pressure in the ICU are effective in preventing environmental contamination. These facts together with the protection measures used could also explain the absence of contagion among staff inside ICUs.

Survivorship after pediatric critical illness is high in developed countries, but many suffer physical morbidities afterwards. The increasing focus on follow-up after critical illness has led to more pediatric studies reporting muscle mass changes (using ultrasound), albeit with different results. A systematic literature review was undertaken examining muscle mass changes, assessed by ultrasound of the quadriceps femoris muscle in children who are critically ill.

Association between muscular atrophy and mortality risk in patients with COPD: a systematic review.

Ther Adv Respir Dis

December 2024

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Background: Muscular atrophy often can be seen at the end of stage in many chronic diseases. It will also negatively influence patients' outcomes. Different studies showed that the association between muscular atrophy and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was unclear.

Sevoflurane (Sev) has a cardioprotective role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury (MI/RI), but its mechanism has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to investigate whether the circ_CDR1as/miR-671-5p/HMGA1 axis mediates the cardioprotective effect of Sev in MI/RI. Cardiomyocytes underwent hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) treatment was used to simulate MI/RI in vitro.

In response to the increasing significance of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare, there has been increased attention - including a Presidential executive order to create an AI Safety Institute - to the potential threats posed by AI. While much attention has been given to the conventional risks AI poses to cybersecurity, and critical infrastructure, here we provide an overview of some unique challenges of AI for the medical community. Above and beyond obvious concerns about vetting algorithms that impact patient care, there are additional subtle yet equally important things to consider: the potential harm AI poses to its own integrity and the broader medical information ecosystem.

Background: Evidence-based venous thromboembolism prevention and management is a priority for global health services. Low adoption of venous thromboembolism guidelines can result in compromised patient outcomes. Understanding clinicians' and patients' perceptions of barriers to and facilitators for guideline implementation and mapping identified barriers and facilitators to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research may inform theoretical interventions to improve guideline adoption rates.
