| Popis: | U ožujku 2020., tri mjeseca nakon prvih zabilježenih slučajeva u kineskom gradu Wuhan, WHO je proglasio globalnu pandemiju novootkrivenog koronavirusa koji je do tada već zahvatio veliki broj država širom svijeta. U svrhu zaštite zdravlja zdravstvenih radnika i pacijenata, poduzete su aktivnosti i mjere za sprječavanje širenja bolesti COVID-19 u zdravstvenom sustavu, pri čemu se u psihijatriji kao jedan od izazova nametnulo osiguravanje kontinuiteta elektrokonvulzivne terapije (EKT-a) kod osoba s teškim i rezistentnim psihijatrijskim poremećajima. Takvi pacijenti su prioritetni i zahtijevaju neodgodivo liječenje u bolničkim uvjetima prilagođenim epidemiološkim okolnostima. Proučivši upute i preporuke nadležnih tijela te pregledom dostupne literature, u ovom radu se predstavljaju najvažnije mjere za neometano izvođenje EKT-a u uvjetima povezanima s bolesti COVID-19. In March 2020, three months after the first cases surfaced in the Chinese city of Wuhan, WHO declared a global pandemic of the novel coronavirus, which by than had already spread through a great number of countries all over the world. In order to protect the health of healthcare workers and patients, activities and measures of disease prevention have been taken; in such circumstances, psychiatry found itself faced with various challenges, one of them being the preservation of the continuity of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in patients with severe or refractory psychiatric disorders. Such patients are a priority and demand immediate treatment in hospital settings adapted to epidemiological circumstances. Having studied the instructions and recommendations of the competent authorities, as well as reviewing available literature, this paper presents the most important measures for the smooth performance of ECT in conditions associated with the COVID-19 disease. |
