Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly contagious, and the route of transmission is dominated by respiratory droplets and contact transmission. At present, the disease prevention and control are difficult. In order to prevent and control COVID-19 and prevent its spread in the hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University has set up isolation wards in the center of infectious diseases. The work norms for isolation ward were formulated. This may help to strengthen the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, effectively control the epidemic situation, as well as protect the health and safety of the public and medical staff. This article introduces the specific settings, diagnosis and treatment specifications, and hospital infection prevention and control strategies of the isolation ward of West China Hospital of Sichuan University, shares the work experience of isolation wards, aims to provide a reference for other hospitals to effectively prevent the spread of COVID-19 in hospitals and curb the spread of COVID-19.
China is facing the serious situation of 2019-novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection. The health care institutions have actively participated in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of the disease. Proper regulation of in-hospital policy may help control virus spreading. We developed seven key clinical questions about the prevention and control of 2019-novel coronavirus infection in hospital, and provided recommendations based on the best available evidence and expert experience. We interpreted the recommendations for better feasibility in Chinese hospital. The current recommendations provide evidence and reference for the domestic medical institutions to reasonably adjust the hospital workflow during 2019-nCoV infection period..
Battlefield trauma wounds, characterized by complex injury mechanisms and extremely high infection risks, impose stringent multifunctional requirements on wound repair materials-specifically rapid hemostasis, potent antimicrobial activity, dynamic adhesion, and promotion of tissue regeneration. Antimicrobial hydrogels demonstrate significant advantages in infection control and tissue regeneration owing to their three-dimensional network structure, high water content, and tunable physicochemical properties. Based on the distinct requirements of each stage of the battlefield trauma echelon care system (encompassing emergency field care, medical evacuation, and definitive hospital treatment), and while fully accounting for battlefield environmental constraints, this review systematically evaluates the applicability, technical bottlenecks, and clinical translation prospects of various antimicrobial hydrogels. The analysis aims to provide a theoretical foundation and targeted research directions for the design of next-generation intelligent hydrogels optimized for battlefield application.
