Bir Çocuk Enfeksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniğinin COVID-19 Pandemi Yönetimi Deneyimleri

Koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) yeni keşfedilen bir koronavirüs tü rünün (SARS-CoV-2) neden olduğu bulaşıcı bir hastalıktır. COVID-19 geniş bir yelpazede görülen akut solunum yolu enfeksiyonudur. Bulaşı önlemenin ve yavaşlatmanın en iyi yolunun; SARS-CoV-2 virüsünün özellikleri, neden olduğu hastalık ve yayılım yolu hakkında iyi bilgi lendirilmek olduğu varsayımından yola çıkarak, SBÜ. İzmir Dr. Behçet Uz Çocuk Hastalıkları ve Cerrahisi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi En feksiyon Hastalıkları Kliniği tarafından SARS-CoV-2 virüsü ile mücade lede yapılan hazırlıkların ve stratejilerin diğer hastanelerle paylaşılması amacıyla bu derleme hazırlanmıştır. Klinikte gerçekleştirilenler; fizik sel düzenlemeler, dezenfeksiyon, çalışanların mesleki enfeksiyonlardan korunmasına yönelik düzenlemeler, hasta ve refakatçiye yönelik dü zenlemeler alt başlıklarında açıklanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alan COVID-19 salgını birçok insanın hayatını kaybetmesi ne yol açmasının yanında sağlık hizmetlerinde birçok yeni düzenleme ye, mevcut hasta güvenliği ve enfeksiyon kontrol önlemlerine yenileri nin eklenmesine yol açmıştır. Sağlık Bakanlığının sık sık güncellediği rehberler, uluslararası literatür ve deneyimlerden yola çıkarak ekip iş birliği ile klinikte yapılan çeşitli düzenlemelerle çocuk ve aileleri ne yönelik tedavi ve bakım aksatılmadan sürdürülmüştür. Çocukların ifadesiyle “robot gibi” görünen kıyafetler giyerek, çocuklarla gözlerle iletişim kurmayı başaran hemşireler bu süreçte mevcut bilgi ve dona nımlarını kullanmış, bu bilgilere yenilerini eklemiştir. Bu derlemenin COVID-19 salgın sürecinde ortaya çıkan yeni bilgilerin gelecekteki uy gulamalara yol göstermesi açısından yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

COVID-19 Pandemic Management Experiences in a Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus strain (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is an acute respiratory infection that occurs with a wide range of symptoms. The best way to prevent and slow down infection is based on the assumption that we know the characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the disease it causes, and the way it spreads. This review has been prepared by the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Unit of the Behçet Uz Children’s Education and Research Hospital in order to share the preparations and strategies to combat the SARS-CoV-2 virus together with other hospitals. What has been prepared in the clinic (physical arrangements, disinfection, regulations for the protection of employees from occupational infections, regulations for patients and companions) is explained under subheadings. The COVID-19 epidemic, which has affected the entire world and caused many people to die, requires the establishment of many new regulations in health services, including new ones to existing patient safety and infection control measures. The treatment and care for children and their families continued without interruption, with various arrangements made in the clinic in cooperation with the team, based on the guidelines updated frequently by the Ministry of Health, international literature, and experiences. Nurses who managed to communicate with children by wearing clothes that looked “like robots” (in the words of the children) used their existing knowledge and equipment in this process and gained new knowledge. It is thought that this review will be useful in guiding future developments of new information emerging during the COVID-19 outbreak.
