Abstract

OBJECTIVES: To describe clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes and to document adaptation of medical services of COVID-19 cases receiving care at Bangkok Hospital Headquarters (BHQ) from January to May 2020. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical and laboratory data of confirmed COVID-19 cases were collected using the case record form designed by the clinical team providing care to suspected and confirmed COVID-19 cases. Data were analyzed for clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. In parallel, the Infection Control Nurse (ICN) team gathered and summarized data on hospital responses, including statistics of hospital staff exposed to COVID-19 cases and their clinical symptoms and test results. RESULT: From January to May 2020, Bangkok Hospital Headquarters provided COVID-19 screening test using RT-PCR to 2,362 patients, of which 40 (1.69%, with a confirmed case who contracted COVID-19 outside of hospital. CONCLUSION: Although we were only a small part of the national response, what we learned was meaningful. Clinical and management teams are confident that if another wave of COVID-19 occurs, the hospital will be able to respond immediately using the existing knowledge and experience that was gained.
泰国一家私立医院治疗新冠肺炎病例的临床特征、治疗结果和经验
目标:描述临床特征和治疗结果,并记录2020年1月至5月在曼谷医院总部(BHQ)接受治疗的新冠肺炎病例的医疗服务适应情况。材料和方法:使用为疑似和确诊新冠肺炎病例提供护理的临床团队设计的病例记录表,收集确诊新冠肺炎病例的临床和实验室数据。对数据进行临床特征和治疗结果分析。与此同时,感染控制护士(ICN)团队收集并总结了医院应对措施的数据,包括接触新冠肺炎病例的医院工作人员的统计数据及其临床症状和检测结果。结果:2020年1-5月,曼谷医院总部对2362名患者进行了RT-PCR新冠肺炎筛查,其中40例(1.69%)确诊病例在医院外感染了新冠肺炎。结论:尽管我们只是国家应对措施的一小部分,但我们所学到的是有意义的。临床和管理团队相信,如果发生另一波新冠肺炎,医院将能够利用现有的知识和经验立即做出反应。
