Cardiac Surgery During COVID-19 Pandemic and in New Normal

Atike Tekeli Kunt, Yıldırım Gültekin, Hatice Keleş, Zeynep Nur Akçaboy

The pandemic caused by a new type of coronavirus namely SARS-COV-2 was initially reported in China in December 2019. After that time, it has become a major global health concern and spread to 216 countries worldwide. The first COVID-19 case was diagnosed in Turkey on March 11, 2020, and again, on 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 as global pandemic. The major mode of transmission of SARS-COV-2 is human to human through droplets, respiratory aspirates, direct exposure, feces, and aerosols transmission. Due to its rapid transmissibility and the need for health care resources, nearly all elective cardiac surgical procedures have been cancelled worldwide. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a major impact on healthcare systems globally, necessitating organizational changes in hospitals such as the reallocation of intensive care units for victims of COVID-19. Only urgent or emergent operations could be performed during the COVID-19 outbreak to protect healthcare workers and uninfected patients with cardiovascular disease. Vaccine studies have not been completed yet and an antiviral agent that will directly affect SARSCoV-2 has not been produced. The aim of this review is to provide the most current information regarding COVID-19 and cardiac surgery.

COVID-19 Küresel Salgını ve Yeni Normal Dönemde Kardiyak Cerrahi

Atike Tekeli Kunt, Yıldırım Gültekin, Hatice Keleş, Zeynep Nur Akçaboy

Yeni bir koronavirüs tipi olan SARS-COV-2 virüsü nedeniyle ortaya çıkan küresel salgın ilk olarak Aralık 2019 tarihinde Çin’de rapor edilmiştir. O tarihten sonra da önemli bir global sağlık sorunu haline gelmiş ve tüm dünyada 216 ülkeye yayılmıştır. Türkiye’de ilk COVID-19 vakası 11 Mart 2020 tarihinde tanı almıştır ve aynı tarihte Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) COVID-19‘u global bir küresel salgın olarak ilan etmiştir. SARS-CoV-2 insandan insana bulaşmaktadır. Başlıca bulaş yolları ise; damlacık, respiratuvar aspiratlar, direkt temas, feçes ve aerosol oluşturan işlemlerdir. İnsandan insana hızlı bulaş olması ve sağlık bakımı kaynaklarına ihtiyaç olması nedeniyle hemen hemen tüm elektif kardiyak cerrahi prosedürler hem ülkemizde hem de tüm dünyada ertelenmiştir. COVID-19 salgını, küresel olarak sağlık hizmetleri sistemleri üzerinde büyük bir etkiye sahip olmuştur. Bu sebepten dolayı da COVID-19 hastaları için yoğun bakım ünitelerinin yeniden tahsisi gibi hastanelerde organizasyonel değişiklikler yapılması gerekmiştir. Küresel salgın döneminde sağlık çalışanlarını ve kardiyovasküler hastalığı olan enfekte olmamış hastaları korumak için sadece acil ve acele operasyonlar yapılabilmiştir. Henüz aşı çalışmaları tamamlanmamış ve direkt SARS-CoV-2’ye etki edecek bir anti-viral ajan da üretilmemiştir. Bu yazımızın amacı COVID-19 ve kardiyak cerrahi ile ilgili en son bilgileri derlemektir.
