Methods: This study was conducted with newborns that were diagnosed with TGA, followed up in the pediatric cardiac ICU, and who underwent ASO between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Variations in neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were recorded before and after the operation (day 1, 2, and 3). The primary endpoint was deemed as the prolonged post-operative ICU stay. For the purposes of this study, a prolonged post-operative ICU stay (PCILOS) was defined as a post-operative ICU stay that falls within the 25 th percentile of the lengths of stay with the most extended durations. Results: The patient group comprised 45 patients. The median age of the patients was 3 (interquartile range [IQR] 2-7) days, and the median operation weight was 3000 (IQR 2800-3100) grams. Of the patients included in the study, 51% were male, and 49% were female. Median duration on a mechanical ventilator, the median length of ICU stay, and median length of hospital stay were 48 (IQR 24-96) hours, 6 (IQR 5-12) days, and 12 (IQR 10-16) days, respectively.

At present, real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the gold standard method for diagnosing COVID-19, but the test’s accuracy varies in sample quality. Especially in the last stages of the disease, negative results of nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal swab samples or rapid antigen tests do not necessarily mean that these patients do not carry the virus. Considering that a significant number of COVID-19 patients need intensive care and mechanical ventilation in the late period, which sample should be taken from where and when should be evaluated. Lower respiratory tract samples have a more significant chance of finding viral RNA than upper respiratory tract samples. Technical recommendations and the virological diagnostic methodologies and used in the intensive care unit of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 are summarized in this article. We aimed to emphasize the need to get a sample from the right place at the right time for a reliable virological diagnosis.

Günümüzde gerçek zamanlı revers transkriptaz polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu halen COVID-19 tanısı için altın standart tanı yöntemi olarak kabul edilmektedir, ancak testin doğruluğu alınan örneğin zamanlamasına ve kalitesine göre değişebilmektedir. Özellikle hastalığın ileri evrelerinde nazofarengeal veya orofarengeal sürüntü örneklerinin ya da hızlı antijen testlerinin negatif olarak sonuçlanması bu hastaların kesin olarak virüsü taşımadıkları anlamına gelmez. Ciddi sayıda COVID-19 hastasının geç dönemde yoğun bakım ve mekanik ventilasyona ihtiyacı olduğu düşünüldüğünde, nereden ve ne zaman numune alınması gerektiği iyi değerlendirilmelidir. Alt solunum yolu örneklerinde viral RNA bulma şansı üst solunum yolu örneklerine göre daha fazladır. SARS-CoV-2 ile enfekte hastaların yoğun bakım ünitesinde kullanılan virolojik tanı metodolojileri ve teknik öneriler bu yazıda özetlendi. Amacımız, güvenilir bir virolojik tanı için doğru zamanda doğru yerden örnek alınması gereksinimini vurgulamaktır.
