          Abstract

          RESUMEN La práctica del buceo expone al buceador a un medio en el que tanto el aumento de la presión ambiental como las exigencias físicas pueden favorecer la aparición de una serie de patologías que se pueden agravar por el mal estado físico del buceador. La infección por SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) tiene entre otros, consecuencias pulmonares, cardiacas, hematológicas e incluso limitación de la capacidad física. Derivado de lo anterior se hace necesario un reconocimiento médico adicional de todo aquel buceador o personal de sanidad con antecedentes de infección por SARS-COV-2 y que se vaya a exponer a un ambiente hiperbárico. La IT 02/16 de IGESAN y sobre todo su ampliación el 8 de febrero de 2021, establece un protocolo de actuación ante estas situaciones.

          Translated abstract

          SUMMARY Diving exposes the diver to an environment in which both the increased environmental pressure and the physical demands can favor the appearance of a series of pathologies that can be aggravated by the diver's poor physical condition. SARS-COV-2 (COVID-19) infection has, among others, pulmonary, cardiac, hematological consequences and even physical capacity limitations. As a result of the above, a medical examination of any diver or healthcare personnel with a history of SARS-COV-2 infection who is going to be exposed to a hyperbaric environment is necessary. The IT 02/16 of IGESAN and especially its extension on February 8, 2021 establishes a protocol for action in these situations.

          Cardiovascular Considerations for Patients, Health Care Workers, and Health Systems During the COVID-19 Pandemic

          The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 that has significant implications for the cardiovascular care of patients. First, those with COVID-19 and pre-existing cardiovascular disease have an increased risk of severe disease and death. Second, infection has been associated with multiple direct and indirect cardiovascular complications including acute myocardial injury, myocarditis, arrhythmias, and venous thromboembolism. Third, therapies under investigation for COVID-19 may have cardiovascular side effects. Fourth, the response to COVID-19 can compromise the rapid triage of non-COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular conditions. Finally, the provision of cardiovascular care may place health care workers in a position of vulnerability as they become hosts or vectors of virus transmission. We hereby review the peer-reviewed and pre-print reports pertaining to cardiovascular considerations related to COVID-19 and highlight gaps in knowledge that require further study pertinent to patients, health care workers, and health systems.

            The pulmonary sequalae in discharged patients with COVID-19: a short-term observational study

            Background A cluster of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia were discharged from hospitals in Wuhan, China. We aimed to determine the cumulative percentage of complete radiological resolution at each time point, to explore the relevant affecting factors, and to describe the chest CT findings at different time points after hospital discharge. Methods Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed by RT-PCR who were discharged consecutively from the hospital between 5 February 2020 and 10 March 2020 and who underwent serial chest CT scans on schedule were enrolled. The radiological characteristics of all patients were collected and analysed. The total CT score was the sum of non-GGO involvement determined at discharge. Afterwards, all patients underwent chest CT scans during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks after discharge. Imaging features and distributions were analysed across different time points. Results A total of 149 patients who completed all CT scans were evaluated; there were 67 (45.0%) men and 82 (55.0%) women, with a median age of 43 years old (IQR 36–56). The cumulative percentage of complete radiological resolution was 8.1% (12 patients), 41.6% (62), 50.3% (75), and 53.0% (79) at discharge and during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd weeks after discharge, respectively. Patients ≤44 years old showed a significantly higher cumulative percentage of complete radiological resolution than patients > 44 years old at the 3-week follow-up. The predominant patterns of abnormalities observed at discharge were ground-glass opacity (GGO) (125 [83.9%]), fibrous stripe (81 [54.4%]), and thickening of the adjacent pleura (33 [22.1%]). The positive count of GGO, fibrous stripe and thickening of the adjacent pleura gradually decreased, while GGO and fibrous stripe showed obvious resolution during the first week and the third week after discharge, respectively. “Tinted” sign and bronchovascular bundle distortion as two special features were discovered during the evolution. Conclusion Lung lesions in COVID-19 pneumonia patients can be absorbed completely during short-term follow-up with no sequelae. Two weeks after discharge might be the optimal time point for early radiological estimation.
