National Early Warning Score

Early warning scores (EWSs) help prevent and recognize and thereby act as the first signs of clinical and physiological deterioration. The objective of this study is to evaluate different EWSs (National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), quick sequential organ failure assessment score (qSOFA), Modified Rapid Emergency Medicine Score (MREMS) and Rapid Acute Physiology Score (RAPS)) to predict mortality within the first 48 h in patients suspected to have Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a retrospective observational study in patients over 18 years of age who were treated by the advanced life support units and transferred to the emergency departments between March and July of 2020. Each patient was followed for two days registering their final diagnosis and mortality data. A total of 663 patients were included in our study. Early mortality within the first 48 h affected 53 patients (8.3%). The scale with the best capacity to predict early mortality was the National Early Warning Score 2 (NEWS2), with an area under the curve of 0.825 (95% CI: 0.75–0.89). The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) positive patients presented an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.804 (95% CI: 0.71–0.89), and the negative ones with an AUC of 0.863 (95% CI: 0.76–0.95). Among the EWSs, NEWS2 presented the best predictive power, even when it was separately applied to patients who tested positive and negative for SARS-CoV-2.

Мета роботи – оптимізувати викладання та розподіл алгоритмів виконання практичних навичок лікарями медицини невідкладних станів на догоспітальному та ранньому госпітальному етапах згідно з сучасними стандартами надання невідкладної медичної допомоги. Основна частина. Для реалізації та адекватного інструментального забезпечення демонстрації та наступного відпрацювання практичних навичок на кафедрі наявні спеціалізовані манекени та обладнання, які дозволяють у повному об’ємі виконувати всі маніпуляції, передбачені алгоритмами надання невідкладної медичної допомоги. Важливим аспектом, завдяки якому кафедра наслідує сучасним міжнародним стандартам надання допомоги, є розподіл викладання практичних навичок надання невідкладної допомоги з урахуванням загальноприйнятих в усьому світі понять BLS (basic life support) та ALS (advanced life support). Висновок. Оптимізація методики викладання практичних навичок для надання невідкладної медичної допомоги відповідно до сучасних стандартів лікування невідкладних станів збільшує якість надання допомоги та дозволяє зменшити втрати часу на догоспітальному етапі, що здатне значною мірою підвищити виживання та відсоток позитивного прогнозу для пацієнтів з невідкладною медичною патологією.

Playing Field

Resuscitation on the playing field is at least as important as screening in the prevention of death. Even if a screening strategy is largely effective, individuals will suffer sudden cardiac arrests. Timely recognition of a cardiac arrest with rapid implementation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and deployment and use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) will save lives. Basic life support, including CPR and AED use, should be a requirement for all those involved in sports, including athletes. An emergency action plan is important in order to render advanced cardiac life support and arrange for transport to medical centres.
