Ensure Patient Safety

In the current times of COVID -19, most healthcare providers are struggling to ensure patient safety and keep the healthcare-associated infection under check. However, various measures are adopted by tertiary care hospitals to provide safe and effective healthcare services in the current pandemic situation. However, various healthcare professionals have different perceptions about the effectiveness of the measures adopted. The current study is carried out in a tertiary care hospital of Noida city of India, where a questionnaire containing demographic data and the measures adopted in the hospital were given to twenty-seven medical professionals to rate the measures following their effectiveness in times of COVID-19. The collected responses were analysed with the help of the Henry Garret Ranking Method. The analysis of the results revealed that the top three effective measures out of all the measures adopted by the hospital included spreading awareness about modes of transmission of infection (First Rank), Creation of isolation ward in the hospital for contagious diseases (Second Rank), providing adequate care in intensive care and high dependency unit in a systematic manner (Third Rank). This study provides a ready reckoned list arranged in the ranked order for the effective measures in times of COVID-19, from medical professionals' perspectives to all the healthcare institutions who are struggling to adapt .to the COVID-19 requirements.

Background: the present study was under taken to determine the role of CA-125 in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis (AA), to prevent its complications and also in preventing negative appendicectomies in tertiary care hospital. Methods: The study was conducted at a tertiary care and research center between 01/03/2018 to 30/06/2019. Patients admitted to the surgery department with diagnosis of AA were considered for the study. After informed consent, a, standardized history was obtained as a case Performa. Serum samples from all the cases with clinical diagnosis of AA were obtained and stored. Only the cases with histopathologically approved AA were included in the study. Cases operated for clinical diagnosis of AA, but not histopathologically proven AA was not included in the study. CA125 levels in cases with definitive diagnosis of AA were measured. Results: In present study, ROC curve analysis revealed the sensitivity of 87.27 % and specificity of 90.91 % when the CA 125 cut-off value of > 16.8 was taken to diagnose acute appendicitis. AUC was 0.911 with a standard error of 0.0292. Conclusion: In this study we have observed that CA125 showed a positive correlation with acute appendicitis, that was statistically not significant (P>0.05). We didn’t evaluate the correlation with the disease severity. We consider that CA125 can be used as a marker in acute appendicitis cases although further research is still needed.
