Avec l'augmentation quotidienne du nombre de cas positifs de COVID-19 et l'augmentation des taux d'admission à l'hôpital et d'exposition, de nombreux prestataires de soins de santé sont confrontés à la réalité du traitement ou de l'admission de cas de COVID-19, souvent avec un accès limité aux tests. Il est donc nécessaire d'éduquer rapidement les cliniciens et les agents de santé sur la prise en charge médicale de cette affection.
People to People, Inc. (P2P) et Anadach Group vous invitent par la présente à participer à la troisième session de notre série de webinaires « COVID-19 en Afrique : prise en charge des patients COVID-19 à haut risque et gravement malades, y compris l'utilisation de flow Oxygen », provenant de pays plus tôt touchés par la pandémie que la plupart des pays africains. L'objectif de ce webinaire est de partager l'expérience clinique et de gestion et de créer une plate-forme permettant aux professionnels de la santé d'interagir sur la gestion clinique et les questions connexes dans plusieurs domaines. Étant donné que l'expérience clinique pendant la COVID-19 évolue rapidement, il est important que les cliniciens connaissent les meilleures façons de se protéger et de protéger leurs patients pendant la pandémie.
Le spectre clinique de COVID-19 varie des formes asymptomatiques ou pauci-symptomatiques, à des états cliniques caractérisés par une insuffisance respiratoire pouvant nécessiter une ventilation mécanique et une assistance dans une unité de soins intensifs, à des manifestations multi-organiques et systémiques dans termes de sepsis, de choc septique et de syndromes de dysfonctionnement de plusieurs organes (MODS).
Sur la base de l'expérience de la pandémie dans plusieurs pays, COVID-19 est souvent plus grave chez les personnes âgées de 60 ans et plus, ou souffrant de problèmes de santé tels que le diabète, l'hypertension, les maladies pulmonaires ou cardiaques ; ou des conditions qui affectent leur système immunitaire.
Selon le CDC chinois, 81 % des les personnes ayant une infection confirmée au COVID-19 n'avaient pas ou une pneumonie légère, 14% avaient une maladie grave et une maladie critique a été signalée dans 5%. La proportion de patients gravement malades semble varier selon l'emplacement et la démographie. Par exemple, à la mi-mars, en Italie, le taux de létalité estimé était de 7,2 %, tandis que le taux de létalité estimé à la mi-mars en Corée du Sud était de 0,9 %. L'âge médian des patients infectés était de 64 ans en Italie, alors qu'en Corée, l'âge médian était de 40 ans. Ce quatrième webinaire se concentrera sur la protection des patients à haut risque, la prise en charge des patients gravement malades et le rôle de l'oxygène à haut débit. Il s'appuiera sur l'expérience du Nigeria, de l'Afrique du Sud et des États-Unis.
Notre série de webinaires couvrira des questions d'intérêt pour les médecins, les infirmières, les autres travailleurs de la santé et la direction impliqués dans la gestion directe des cas de COVID-19 dans leurs pays respectifs. La plupart des spécialistes exerçant hors d'Afrique ont également une expérience de la pratique médicale dans au moins un pays africain. Le prochain (cinquième) webinaire dans quinze jours portera sur « Inciter les enfants et les jeunes à l'école ou au collège en toute sécurité du point de vue médical ».
Veuillez vous inscrire pour participer. Et partagez avec vos collègues concernés. Merci.
