Novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in environmental engineering perspective

Hintergrund und ZielCOVID-19 stellt eine substanzielle Bedrohung der Gesundheit und in der Folge auch der Lebensbedingungen der Menschen weltweit dar. Die Erkrankung entsteht infolge einer Infektion mit dem neuartigen Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Erkenntnisse über molekulare Grundlagen, Pathophysiologie, klinische Charakteristika, Epidemiologie, aber auch Ressourcenbedarf und Outcomes (z. B. Karagiannidis et al. 2020; zur Übersicht s. Website der WHO: https://search.bvsalud.org/global-literature-on-novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov/) wachsen in beispiellos kurzem Zeitraum weltweit an, auch im Feld der Rehabilitation (vgl. Negrini et al. 2020). Die Erkenntnisse münden in Leitlinien, Policy Briefs oder konkreten Handlungsempfehlungen (vgl. Publikationen des Kompetenznetz Public Health COVID-19, www.public-health-covid19.de).

This communication presents the experience of using mobile pressure chambers in patients with the confi rmed novel coronavirus infection in hospital settings. The obtained preliminary results indicate positive antihypoxic effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) applied in the form of increased saturation. After a session of HBO, patients demonstrated an increase in the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin at the average level of 3.71 points. Differences between SatO2 levels prior to and following HBO treatment were signifi cant in the CT2, CT3 and CT4 groups (p0.05). As expected, the effi cacy of HBO in terms of the oxygen saturation of capillary blood hemoglobin was the greatest in the patient groups showing pronounced clinical and radiological changes in the lungs.
