This narrative review aimed to summarize the impacts of COVID-19 on the continuity of KRT and the strategies healthcare facilities adopted to ensure the accessibility and continuity of the care. Management for KRT patients infected with COVID-19 was not within the scope of this review. We searched online publications in PubMed and Sinomed before November 2020, using search terms \"COVID-19\", \"care\", and \"kidney replacement therapy\". We found that COVID-19 affected the care cascade of KRT, the choice of treatment modalities, and self-care of individuals on maintenance treatment. Healthcare providers adopted the strategies including preventing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), using telehealth in the care cascade, and patients' health education and psychosocial support.

COVID-19时期维持性肾脏替代治疗患者护理的叙述性回顾
自2019年底以来,新冠肺炎已经在全世界造成了影响,并可能改变肾脏替代疗法(KRT)的护理。本叙述性综述旨在总结新冠肺炎对KRT连续性的影响,以及医疗机构为确保护理的可及性和连续性而采取的策略。感染新冠肺炎的KRT患者的管理不在本审查范围内。我们在2020年11月之前搜索了PubMed和Sinomed的在线出版物,使用搜索词“新冠肺炎”、“护理”和“肾脏替代疗法”。我们发现,新冠肺炎影响了KRT的护理级联、治疗模式的选择以及维持治疗个体的自我护理。医疗保健提供者采取了包括预防2019冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)、在护理级联中使用远程医疗以及患者健康教育和心理社会支持在内的策略。我们得出的结论是,新冠疫情对目前的护理提供提出了挑战,并对肾脏护理的传达产生了深远影响。©2021儿科医学。
