Degli Infermi, Biella, Italy 4 Department of Pediatrics, Women and Infants Hospital, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island Am J Perinatol 2020;37:780–791. Abstract The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has urged the development and implementation of guidelines and protocols on diagnosis, management, infection control strategies, and discharge planning. However, very little is currently known about neonatal COVID-19 and severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. Thus, many questions arise with regard to respiratory care after birth, necessary protection to health care workers (HCW) in the delivery room and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and safety of bag and mask ventilation, noninvasive respiratory support, deep suctioning, endotracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation. Indeed, these questions have created tremendous confusion amongst neonatal HCW. In this manuscript, we comprehensively reviewed the current evidence regarding COVID-19 perinatal transmission, respiratory outcomes of neonates born to mothers with COVID-19 and infants with documented SARS- CoV-2 infection, and the evidence for using different respiratory support modalities and aerosol-generating procedures in this specific population.

Case Presentation: We herein presented two clinical cases of laryngectomized patients affected by COVID-19, detailing their clinical course and complications. Discussion: In our experience, permanent tracheostomy did not significantly affect the choice of treatment. However, dedicated devices and repeated tracheal toilettes may be needed to deal with oxygen-therapy-related tracheal crusting. Conclusion: In conclusion, laryngectomees should be considered a vulnerable population that may be at risk for worse outcomes of COVID-19 due to anatomical changes in their airways. The role of the ENT specialist is to guide airway management and inform the support-staff regarding specific needs of these patients. Keywords COVID-19, coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, laryngectomy, management Introduction At admission (March 9, 2020), the most relevant clinical findings included severe oxygen desaturation (76%), tachy- To date, the effects of COVID-19 on laryngectomized pnea, cyanosis, lymphocytopenia, and C reactive protein patients is unknown, with no cases reported so far.

  • COVID 19 Inpatient Testing Guidelines
    COVID-19 Inpatient COVID-19 Testing Protocol, Version 7, 20210714 Owners: T. Bouton, J. Hudspeth Inpatient COVID-19 Testing Protocol A. Who to test? BMC tests all patients being admitted to the hospital, with the exception of COVID- recovered patients who are within 9 months of their initial positive COVID test and remain asymptomatic (for outpatient testing algorithms, please refer to the outpatient testing protocol). o Refer to COVID-Flu Testing Winter 2020 for guidance on testing patients admitted with flu-like febrile respiratory illness and sepsis-like syndrome requiring hospitalization. If a patient who is already admitted develops symptoms potentially attributable to COVID- 19 and warrants testing per your clinical opinion, they should be retested (even if their admission test was negative). Note: For COVID-recovered patients who have new symptoms of COVID-19 within 9 months of initial positive test AND for whom an alternate etiology cannot be identified, also consider retesting. o Promptly alert the nurse of your concern so precautions are instituted o There are a wide range of symptoms and presentations potentially compatible with COVID including: Fever, cough, shortness of breath, new anosmia, unexplained hypoxia, diarrhea (more than 3 watery bowel movements per day), nausea or vomiting, dizziness, headache, muscle aches, throat pain, rhinorrhea, fatigue and others. o In accordance with guidelines, testing should be conducted for patients with: . ST elevation MI . Unprovoked venous thromboembolism . Multifocal PNA or ground glass opacities on CT without clear alternative diagnosis o Diagnoses for which one should consider testing for COVID: . New seizure . New stroke . Myocarditis, stress cardiomyopathy, coronary spasm, right heart failure Direct admissions to BMC should be assessed for symptoms of COVID (or results of prior COVID testing) by the accepting physician prior to accepting the patient.

  • Microbiology Specimen Collection
    Martin Health System Stuart, Florida Laboratory Services Microbiology Specimen Collection The recovery of pathogenic organisms responsible for an infectious process is dependent on proper collection and transportation of a specimen. An improperly collected or transported specimen may lead to failure to isolate the causative organism(s) of an infectious disease or may result in the recovery and subsequent treatment of contaminating organisms. Improper handling of specimens may also lead to accidental exposure to infectious material. GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR COLLECTION: 1. Follow universal precaution guidelines, treating all specimens as potentially hazardous. 2. Whenever possible, collect specimen before antibiotics are administered. 3. Collect the specimen from the actual site of infection, avoiding contamination from adjacent tissues or secretions. 4. Collect the specimen at optimal time i.e. Early morning sputum for AFB First voided specimen for urine culture Specimens ordered x 3 should be 24 hours apart (exception: Blood cultures which are collected as indicated by the physician) 5. Collect sufficient quantity of material for tests requested. 6. Use appropriate collection and transport container. Refer to the Microbiology Quick Reference Chart or to the specific source guidelines. Containers should always be tightly sealed and leak-proof 7. Label the specimen with the Patient’s First and Last Name Date of Birth Collection Date and Time Collector’s First and Last Name Source 8. Submit specimen in the sealed portion of a Biohazard specimen bag. 9. Place signed laboratory order in the outside pocket of the specimen bag. 10. Include any pertinent information i.e. recent travel or relocation, previous antibiotic therapy, unusual suspected organisms, method or environment of wound infliction 11.

  • Icd-10-Cm Codes
    MGMA COVID-19 Coding Cheat Sheet (Updated Dec. 23, 2020) ICD-10-CM CODES CONFIRMED COVID-19 DIAGNOSIS Code only confirmed cases COVID-19 U07.1 Code only a confirmed diagnosis of the 2019 novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) as documented by the provider, documentation of a positive COVID-19 test result, or a presumptive positive COVID-19 test result. For a confirmed diagnosis, assign code U07.1, COVID-19. This is an exception to the hospital inpatient guideline Section II, H. In this context, “confirmation” does not require documentation of the type of test performed; the provider’s documentation that the individual has COVID-19 is sufficient. ICD-10-CM code U07.1, COVID-19, may be used for discharges/date of service on or after April 1, 2020. For guidance prior to April 1, 2020, please refer to the supplement to the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines for coding encounters related to the COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak. Sequencing of codes: When COVID-19 meets the definition of principal or first-listed diagnosis, code U07.1, COVID-19, should be sequenced first, and followed by the appropriate codes for associated manifestations, except in the case of obstetrics patients. Use O98.5- as principal diagnosis followed by U07.1. PNEUMONIA Code first COVID-19 (U07.1) Pneumonia due to coronavirus disease 2019 J12.82 BRONCHITIS For a patient with acute bronchitis confirmed as due Acute bronchitis due to other specified J20.8 to COVID-19, assign code J20.8. Bronchitis not organism otherwise specified (NOS) due to the COVID-19 Bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic J40 should be coded using code J40, Bronchitis, not specified as acute or chronic.
