The Combined Usage of Clinical Physical Finding in Management of COVID 19 Patients

July 30, 2024 updated by: Chia-hsi Chen, St. Martin De Porress Hospital

The Combined Usage of Clinical Physical Finding With Simple Triage and Rapid Treatment (START), Modified Early Warning Score(MEWS)and Quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment(qSOFA) in Management of COVID 19 Patients

Physiological indicators such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and consciousness status of COVID-19 patients are used to apply the START (simple triage and rapid treatment, START), Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS), and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) as tools for assessing clinical symptom tracking, deterioration, and subsequent improvement in COVID-19 patients. In response to the need for scarce manpower when a large number of emergency patients appear, a simple and easy-to-operate assessment method is adopted for mild patients, and artificial intelligence technology can be further used to assist in the assessment for early response and medication.

Detailed Description

Due to the development of the pandemic , the virus has constantly mutated, leading to a vast majority of mild cases. This has significantly increased the burden on medical personnel. The investigators are trying to find a way to track whether their clinical symptoms have worsened. At the same time, the investigators want to know the changes in patient symptoms in real-time through online monitoring This is a single-center retrospective study of a group of COVID-19 patients. Review their medical records, mainly based on hospital field records and existing physiological indicators of patients such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and consciousness status. The partients visited the hospital between March 2020 and September 2022. All patients were given physiological value indicators MEWS, qSOFA, and START for scoring and assess the clinical symptom deterioration of COVID-19 patients.

In this study, The investigators collect the physiological values of each patient and the data on the nursing records during hospitalization to judge whether the symptoms have worsened
