There are 2 clinical trials
The SARS-CoV-2 infection was detected in December 2019 in Wuhan City, China. The infection affects all age groups, although childhood is the lowest proportion of those affected. The main clinical manifestations that require hospitalization of infected patients are SARS pneumonia, which may require treatment in the intensive care unit (27%) and its progression into acute respiratory distress syndrome (67%) with life-threatening conditions in almost 25% of patients diagnosed with "SARS-CoV-2 infection". Nervous system damage with SARS-CoV-2 infection has been practically not investigated, but neurological disorders have been reported in 36% of these patients. Finally, the mortality rate associated with the new virus is high in patients who require treatment in intensive care units (62% of cases). Therefore, we are conducting a prospective study to identify acute encephalopathy predictors in patients with COVID-19.
Description: The percentage of patients who have developed encephalopathy
Measure: The percentage of patients who have developed encephalopathy Time: 10 daysSince the outbreak of COVID-19 hit Spain in March 2020, most of the elective surgeries have been canceled everywhere. As soon as the epidemiology phase of the pandemic changed and the restrictions have been eased, different protocols have been put in place to screen patients for SARS-CoV-2 before surgery in order to reduce the spreading of the disease in hospitalized patients. To the best of the current state of knowledge, no recommendations or protocols have been established to guide surgeons in dealing with patients developing unspecific symptoms after surgeries, which could sign either of a post-op complication or COVID-19. The investigators have developed an enhanced pre and post-surgical protocol both to screen patients for COVID-19 before surgery and to promptly identify those patients suspicious for the viral infection during the post-op.
