Bed Capacity

According to the Semmelweis Plan for Saving Health Care, ”the capacity of the national network of intensive care units in Hungary is one but not the only bottleneck of emergency care at present”. Author shows on the basis of data reported to the health insurance that not on a single calendar day more than 75% of beds in intensive care units were occupied. There were about 15 to 20 thousand sick days which could be considered unnecessary because patients occupying these beds were discharged to their homes directly from the intensive care unit. The data indicate that on the whole bed capacity is not low, only in some institutions insufficient. Thus, in order to improve emergency care in Hungary, the rearrangement of existing beds, rather than an increase of bed capacity is needed. Orv. Hetil., 2011, 152, 946–950.

Care Research

Emergency management in Visarpa is most challenging. The aim of this study is to review the existing Crit-ical care for Visarpa from basic Ayurveda classics as well as online. In this review article, after evaluation of emergency care from brihatrayai as well as laghutrai and available relevant 21 articles regarding Visarpa chikitsa, we discussed the need of development of Ayurveda diagnostic as well as intensive care units in present era. It is found that emergency treatment is not available to the satisfaction in Ayurveda literature. Therefore, possible strategy regarding emergency care research for this critical disease is provid-ed which is useful for Ayurveda researchers.

Objective: To evaluate laboratory turnaround time (TAT) and to find out the reasons for delay in TAT in diagnosing coronavirus disease (COVID) samples. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive, and observational study was conducted from August 2020 to March 2021 in a Tertiary care teaching hospital. TAT was calculated from sample reception to report dispatch. Results: Of the 4500 samples analyzed in Molecular Laboratory for the purpose of COVID diagnosis, 890 (19.7%) had delayed TAT. The average TAT of samples in Emergency and Intensive care units (ICU) is 3 h; and it is 3 h and 30 min in inpatient and outpatient (OP) services. The average prolonged TAT is 3 h and 30 min and 4 h 10 min in Emergency care, ICU services, and inpatient and OP services respectively. The reasons for prolonged TAT includes payment for tests in the cash unit, repetition of test, specimen related, reagent related, machine breakdown, and software related. Conclusion: The TAT demonstrates the need for improvement in the pre- and post-analytical period.
