Know a patient who is a COVID survivor. He was in the ICU for a month, requiring mechanical ventilation for almost four weeks. That’s much longer than a typical patient with bacterial pneumonia. This patient required a lengthy infusion of the neuromuscular blockade which, along with shock, contributed to the profound weakness. This complication is also called critical illness polyneuropathy. *What can we do during these 4 weeks when the patient is paralyzed to minimize the myopathy and neuropathy that may develop? *Are there treatments or therapies? *Are you familiar with the concept of Disease tolerance and Adaptogens? I’d love to hear others’ reflections on this and if you have any tips for preparation

Received covishield vaccination without any complication. I am 73, with DM,HPT, Angioplasty done withLbbb.

UNCOMMON MANIFESTATIONS of COVID-19 Recent findings suggest that a significant number of people with COVID-19 may experience digestive symptoms. New research data says that out of all the patients who approached for medical care half of them have come up with the symptoms of the digestive system, such as loss of appetite and diarrhea. As the world races to find the best ways to cope with the new coronavirus, researchers continue to contribute to our understanding of COVID-19, the disease that the virus causes. The exact symptoms are the main point of interest. As with many other viral infections, SARS-CoV-2 infections cause different symptoms in different people. But WHICH SYMPTOMS ARE THE MOST COMMON? According to information from the World Health Organization (WHO), three of the most common symptoms are fever, coughing, and some difficulty breathing. However, people with COVID-19 have reported many other symptoms, including digestive ones. While the WHO still consider digestive symptoms to be uncommon, a new study from the Wuhan Medical Treatment Expert Group for COVID-19 suggests that such symptoms may be more widespread than specialists had thought. Digestive symptoms in 50.5% of patients were observed. The expert group behind this new study — the findings of which appear in The American Journal of Gastroenterology — analyzed data from 204 people who received medical care for COVID-19 between January 18 and February 28, 2020. The patients had an average age of 52.9 years, and of the total, 107 were male and 97 female. When they presented to a hospital, 103 of the 204 people — or 50.5% — were experiencing digestive symptoms. The main symptom reported was diarrhea, and other symptoms included vomiting, in four individuals, and abdominal pain, in two. Moreover, the digestive symptoms among the larger group grew more severe as the severity of COVID-19 increased the researchers' report.

Hi Curofians! I'm Dr. Nasir, a Family Medicine practitioner working in Singapore. This post is regarding the zone arrangements for the patients during and after the circuit breaker in running the OPD. In patient clinic, you should have 3 zones. 1. Red zone - For Suspected cases with travel or contact history with fever, should be straight asked to go to the hospital for a swab. 2. Orange zone - URTI symptoms without fever. 3. Green zone - No fever, no URTI symptoms. -In all these 3 zones patients shouldn't mix up with each other. - Full PPE in the orange and red zone is recommended. - Partial PPE in the green zone is recommended. - You should have additional staff in PPE to segregate patients in 3 zones, another staff to make sure these 3 zones patients should not mix up with different waiting areas. - The doctor going to see the patient will know in advance what type of patient he or she going to see. I hope it helps.
