    Abstract

    Background Palliative care is an essential component of healthcare in pandemics, contributing to symptom control, psychological support, and supporting triage and complex decision making. Aim To examine preparedness for, and impact of, the COVID-19 pandemic on hospices in Italy to inform the response in other countries. Design Cross-sectional telephone survey, carried out in March 2020. Setting Sixteen Italian hospices, purposively sampled according to COVID-19 risk into high (more than 25 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 inhabitants), medium (15-25 cases per 100,000), and low risk (fewer than 15 cases per 100,000) regions. A brief questionnaire was developed to guide the interviews.

    • The key role of palliative care in response to the COVID-19 tsunami of suffering Lukas Radbruch Felicia Marie Knaul Liliana de Lima Cornelis de Joncheere Afsan Bhadelia Published:April 22, 2020DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/S0140-6736(20)30964-8 Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has brought a tsunami of suffering that is devastating even well resourced countries. The disease has wreaked havoc on health systems and generated immense losses for families, communities, and economies, in addition to the growing death toll. Patients, caregivers, health-care providers, and health systems can benefit from the extensive knowledge of the palliative care community and by taking heed of long-standing admonitions to improve access to essential medicines, particularly opioids for the relief of breathlessness and pain.1, 2, 3 For low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs), the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to be even more severe than in high-income countries. There will probably be a high burden of COVID-19 in settings where there are weak health-care systems, lack of access to clean water and disinfectants, poor outbreak preparedness, severe shortages in personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical technology, challenges in enforcing physical distancing regulations, and reliance on informal employment. In such settings, it is expected that patients with severe COVID-19 who are unable to access the limited supply of intensive care resources or hospital beds will suffer and die at home, where they would be cared for by family members without PPE and access to relevant information, training, or palliative care resources. These caregivers will probably become infected and spread the disease. Additionally, if resources are reallocated to respond to COVID-19, patients with other life-limiting conditions could find themselves pushed out of their health-care settings with reduced access to opioid medication.

    • 1.时间：2020年3月20日 2.机构或团队：位于雷焦艾米利亚的USL-IRCCS公司、伦敦国王学院、意大利姑息治疗学会 3.时间概要： USL-IRCCS公司等于2020年3月20日在medRxiv上发表题为“Response and role of palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic: a national telephone survey of hospices in Italy”的文章，旨在研究意大利临终安养院对COVID-19大流行的准备情况及其影响，以告知其他国家如何响应。 研究人员编制调查表于2020年3月对16个意大利临终安养院进行电话调查，包括7个高风险（每100,000居民中有超过25例COVID-19病例）、5个中风险（每100,000居民中有15-25例COVID-19病例）和4个低风险（每100,000居民中有15例以下COVID-19病例）区域的临终安养院。2个高风险临终安养院患者和工作人员中出现了COVID-19病例。所有的临终安养院都实施了政策变更，包括将人员从住院病人转移到社区，变更接纳标准以及每日电话关怀家庭成员。关注的问题包括个人防护设备的短缺、缺乏针对COVID-19的临终关怀指南、对需要照料儿童和其他亲属的焦虑以及在紧急情况下姑息治疗的综合性较差等。文章结论：临终关怀机构能够灵活、快速地应对COVID-19大流行；各国政府必须认识到临终关怀和姑息治疗对COVID-19大流行的重要贡献，并确保将这些服务纳入卫生保健系统的应对措施中；提供个人防护设备和针对具体环境的指南至关重要。 4.附件： 原文链接：https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.18.20038448v1
