On March 19 World Health Organization declare the pandemic situation by outbreak coronavirus disease 2019 in the world. The pressure on the health care system has been very high in several countries. Spanish National Transplant Organization (ONT) have made many efforts in maintaining transplantation activity. Although the impact of the pandemic on organ activity has been analysed, to date, less data exist regarding the impact on tissue activity. The aim of this study has been the evaluation of the possible impact on the procurement, processing and distribution of tissues during the peak period of the pandemic COVID-19 in Spain. For this study, a multicentre analysis has been made with a survey of the tissue banks in Spain, during the period March 1 to April 30, 2020. Our data suggest that the impact of coronavirus in Spain has affected dramatically tissue donation but with a moderate effect on stored tissues such as bone, valves, vessels or skin. Tissue banks should prepare if future next pandemic waves surges so that tissue provision is guaranteed both in urgent and elective surgeries.
3月19日,世界卫生组织宣布2019冠状病毒病在全球大流行。在几个国家,医疗系统面临的压力非常大。西班牙国家移植组织(ONT)在维持移植活动方面做出了许多努力。尽管已经分析了疫情对器官活动的影响,但迄今为止,关于其对组织活动影响的数据较少。本研究的目的是评估在西班牙2019冠状病毒病大流行高峰期,疫情对组织采购、处理和分配可能产生的影响。在本研究中,于2020年3月1日至4月30日期间,对西班牙的组织库进行了一项多中心分析调查。我们的数据表明,冠状病毒在西班牙的影响极大地影响了组织捐赠,但对储存的组织如骨骼、瓣膜、血管或皮肤的影响适中。如果未来出现下一波疫情高峰,组织库应做好准备,以便在急诊和择期手术中都能保证组织供应。
