“…Nekoliko studija, sprovedenih od početka pandemije COVID-19 u SAD, prikazalo je dramatičan porast infekcije krvi, udružene sa centralnim venskim kateterom (central line associated blood stream infections -CLABSI), dok infekcije urinarnog trakta, udružene sa urinarnim kateterom, nisu pokazale porast 34,35 . Posebno je važno obratiti pažnju na potencijalne uzročnike CLABSI (Staphylococcus coagulasa negative i Staphylococcus aureus sa kože, Candida spp ili gram-negativni patogeni, naročito kod hematoloških pacijenata i pacijenata sa malignitetom).…”

In a busy working environment, with a shortage of healthcare workers and increased workloads since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the implementation of an easy-to-remember mnemonic can significantly help anesthesiologists and clinicians in conducting intensive therapy. One of the first mnemonics in critical care therapy was implemented by Jean-Louis Vincent in 2005. FAST HUG concept reminds clinicians of crucial moments in therapy - nutritional support(F-feeding), analgesia and sedation (A - analgesia, S - sedation), thrombosis prophylaxis (T - thrombolytic prophylaxis), head elevation in bed (H - head of the elevated bed), antiulcer therapy (U - stress ulcer prevention) and glycemic control (G - glucose control). This acronym has been modified and tested in several studies over the years for the treatment of different patient types. This concept is widely utilized in intensive care units, it is characterized with easy implementation, and proved to be useful in ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention. Therapy of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is based on elements of general intensive care therapy with some specific therapeutic guidelines. With the intention to ease and improve therapy of patients with COVID-19 in intensive care units, a new and comprehensive acronym is proposed: One Fast Hug Bids COVID.

“…Additionally, literature has shown evidence behind daily meetings between hospital leadership and nursing may reduce the CAUTI Standard Infection Rate (SIR) 8 . As critically ill patients began to fill the hospital during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic leading to increased IUC use, UHPMC took a multidisciplinary approach to avoid HAIs during the COVID-19 pandemic, including CAUTIs, to create a culture of safety 9 . This approach to HAI prevention during the COVID-19 Pandemic, January 2019 to December 2021, was unique due to combined use of the nurse driven IUC removal protocol, the inclusion of a bedside nursing IUC checklist, and an IUC insertion order set that was created in the electronic medical record (EMR).…”
