Oxygen (O2 ) therapy is the first-line therapy for acute respiratory distress with hypoxemia due to Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy represents one of the O2 therapy alternative modalities. HFNC is a supportive O2 therapy device using a specially designed HFNC warmed and moisturizer, resulting in a stable flow rate. The physiological mechanisms of HFNC make its efficacy better than other O2 therapy applications. Management of COVID-19 focuses on preventing disease worsening, and HFNC can optimize the outcome of therapy. Further studies are necessary to evaluate the benefits of HFNC in hypoxemia management. It is also important to clarify its contraindications and factors associated with HFNC failure.

氧(O2)治疗是治疗冠状病毒病-2019 (COVID-19)急性呼吸窘迫并低氧血症的一线治疗方法。高流量鼻插管(HFNC)治疗是O2治疗的替代方式之一。HFNC是一种支持性的氧气治疗设备,使用特殊设计的HFNC加热和保湿剂,导致流量稳定。HFNC的生理机制使其疗效优于其他氧疗应用。COVID-19的管理重点是防止疾病恶化,HFNC可以优化治疗结果。需要进一步的研究来评估HFNC在低氧血症治疗中的益处。明确其禁忌症和与HFNC失败相关的因素也很重要。《Gulhane Medical Journal》版权归Gulhane军事医学学院所有,未经版权所有者明确书面许可,不得将其内容复制或通过电子邮件发送到多个网站或发布到列表服务器。但是,用户可以打印、下载或通过电子邮件发送文章供个人使用。这可以删节。对副本的准确性不作任何保证。用户应参阅原始出版版本的材料的完整。(版权适用于所有人。)

SARS-CoV-2 can persist on surfaces from a few hours or to several days, depending on the type of surface, temperature, or humidity of the environment. [...]the need for hand hygiene and thorough disinfection of all surfaces within the radiology department is of high priority (6). According to Spaulding’s Classification of Medical Equipment/Devices, surfaces of a radiology unit need to be either washed with soap and water or decontaminated using low-level or intermediate-level disinfectants, such as iodophor germicidal detergent solution, ethyl alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol (10). [...]the DHCP must provide the best available standards of safe operating procedures for their patients and themselves.

Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) is the most effective treatment method for end-stage liver failure and acute liver failure, depending on all causes. This study aimed to examine the clinical, surgical, and histopathological characteristics of LT recipients in a referral center in Turkey. Methods: In this single-center study, demographic, clinical, laboratory, radiological, surgical, and histopathological data of LT recipients aged 18 years or over between December 2017 and February 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. All subjects were transplanted from live donors and cadavers. Results: The sample included 162 subjects [mean age: 50.1 (18-70) years;male: 64.8%. The proportion of live donor transplantation was 86.4% (n=140)]. The mean follow-up time was 20.5 months (1-39 months). The most common primary indication was hepatocellular carcinoma (n=43, 26.5%) and chronic hepatitis B virus infection-related cirrhosis (n=30, 18.5%). The most common postoperative complication was biliary complications (30.9%). One-year survival was 88.9%, two-year survival was 85.8%, and three-year survival was 83.3%. During the 3-year follow-up, the total graft loss rate was observed by 17.9%, and the mortality rate was 15.4%. Conclusions: The main goal in LT is the long-term survival of the graft and the patient. The present study showed that demographic characteristics, etiological characteristics, postoperative complications, and mortality rates among LT recipients were consistent with the results of other centers around the world.
