When preparing for the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the coronavirus infection disease (COVID-19) questions arose regarding various aspects concerning the anaesthetist. When reviewing the literature it became obvious that keeping up-to-date with all relevant publications is almost impossible. We searched for and summarised clinically relevant topics that could help making clinical decisions. This is a subjective analysis of literature concerning specific topics raised in our daily practice (e.g., clinical features of COVID-19 patients; ventilation of the critically ill COVID-19 patient; diagnostic of infection with SARS-CoV-2; stability of the virus; Covid-19 in specific patient populations, e.g., paediatrics, immunosuppressed patients, patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, kidney or liver disease; co-medication with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); antiviral treatment) and we believe that these answers help colleagues in clinical decision-making. With ongoing treatment of severely ill COVID-19 patients other questions will come up. While respective guidelines on these topics will serve clinicians in clinical practice, regularly updating all guidelines concerning COVID-19 will be a necessary, although challenging task in the upcoming weeks and months. All recommendations during the current extremely rapid development of knowledge must be evaluated on a daily basis, as suggestions made today may be out-dated with the new evidence available tomorrow.
在为严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)感染和冠状病毒感染疾病(COVID-19)的爆发做准备时,出现了关于麻醉医生各个方面的问题。在查阅文献时,很明显几乎不可能跟上所有相关出版物的更新。我们搜索并总结了有助于做出临床决策的临床相关主题。这是对我们日常实践中提出的特定主题相关文献的主观分析(例如,COVID-19患者的临床特征;重症COVID-19患者的通气;SARS-CoV-2感染的诊断;病毒的稳定性;特定患者群体中的COVID-19,如儿科、免疫抑制患者、高血压患者、糖尿病患者、肾脏或肝脏疾病患者;与非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的联合用药;抗病毒治疗),我们相信这些答案有助于同事们进行临床决策。随着对重症COVID-19患者的持续治疗,还会出现其他问题。虽然这些主题的相应指南将为临床医生的临床实践提供帮助,但在未来几周和几个月内,定期更新所有关于COVID-19的指南将是一项必要但具有挑战性的任务。在当前知识飞速发展的过程中,所有建议都必须每天进行评估,因为今天提出的建议可能明天就会因新获得的证据而过时。
