Clinical Tool

Introduction:qCSI (Quick COVID severity index) is a clinical tool established recently post pandemic to predict respiratory failure within 24 hours of admission in COVID-19 patients; respiratory failure being explain as increased oxygen requirement greater than 6L/min by low ow device, high ow device, noninvasive or invasive ventilation to maintain spO2 of greater than or equal to 94%, or death. Aim:To verify and validate the application of the qCSI in Emergency Department in Indian demographic for evidence-based guidance to aid physician decision making in safely dispositioning adult patients with COVID-19 with oxygen requirement less than or equal to 6L/min via low ow devices including nasal cannula and oxygen mask Materials and methods:This is an observational, retrospective study from Emergency Department in a private tertiary care hospital of admitted adult patients with COVID-19 disease. Clinical parameters in qCSI and disposition of 210 patients admitted through Emergency Department included in this study selected randomly was sought on admission and clinical status with level of care 24 hours following admission was recorded and compared with prediction based on qCSI from a period of 1 May 2020 to 31 October 2020. Result:We found that19(9.0%) patients Initial qCSI Score was Low, 80(38.1%) patients Initial qCSI Score was Low-intermediate, 84(40.0%) patients Initial qCSI Score was High-intermediate and 27(12.9%)patients Initial qCSI Score was High.qCSI Score after 24 hours 16(11.4%) patients were Low, 43(30.7%) patients were Low-intermediate, 63(45.0%) patients was High-intermediate and 18(12.9%) patients was High.Out of 210(100.0%) patients, 70 (33.3%) patients were critically ill. Conclusion:In conclusion these data show that the quick COVID-19 Severity Index provides easily accessed risk stratication relevant to Emergency Department provider.

Experimental Group

A true experimental, post test only control group design was used to nd out the effectiveness of Xylocaine 2% gel on pain intensity reduction during intravenous cannulation among the adult patients tertiary care hospital of Belagavi, Karnataka. Quantitative approach was used for the study. The study was done on 80 adult patients using standardized pain numerical scale. (Based on pilot study the prevalence rates in both group calculated p1=82% p2=100%, q1=18 q2=0, d=18% , Z= 1.96 (at 5% α error), Z= 0.842 (at 80% power) n=38 40). Simple random (lottery method) technique was used .in this study the patients, who have a patent intravenous cannula in place and who are unable perceive and responds for pain (unconscious patient). Demographical variables analyzed for the study Age, Gender, Education, Occupation, Previous experience, duration of pain during intravenous cannulation, site of cannulation and size of intravenous Cannula (Variables Independent variable: Xylocaine 2% gel. Dependent variable: Pain intensity experience during intravenous cannulation). Total 21 reviews were taken under the title of the above study (Indian- 03, International- 18). The conceptual framework used for this study is based on General Systems Theory introduced by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in 1968. The obtained data was analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The mean of post test pain intensity during IV cannulation in experimental group was 1.93 and 4.30 in control group and SD of 0.60 in experimental group, 0.61 in control group. In this study 62.50% of participants have mild pain and 15% have moderate pain in experimental group as compared to 55% have severe pain followed by 37.50% have worst pain in control group. The difference is found to be statistically signicant
