Abstract

Krajem 2019. godine u Kini se pojavio koronavirus označen kao SARS-CoV-2 koji je
izazivao virusnu upalu pluća, a zbog svoje lake prenosivosti, bolest se ubrzo proširila
i na ostatak svijeta. Najčešći put prijenosa je kapljično, pri kihanju i kašljanju, a
procijenjeno vrijeme inkubacije je između 2 i 14 dana. Sestrinska skrb za COVID-19
pozitivnog bolesnika uključuje velik broj različitih intervencija koje se izvode u timu s
liječnikom i drugim zdravstvenim osobljem. Počevši od samog prijema bolesnika, rad
u jedinici intenzivnog liječenja često zna biti dinamičan i zahtijevati brzu intervenciju.
Uloga medicinske sestre uključuje zdravstvenu njegu bolesnika, praćenje i mjerenje
vitalnih funkcija, vađenje krvi, pripremu i sudjelovanje u provođenju različitih
postupaka u liječenju bolesnika zajedno s liječnikom. Unatoč brojnim početnim
izazovima, velikoj smrtnosti bolesnika i stresu zdravstvenih djelatnika, dvije godine
kasnije, COVID-19 polako postaje komorbiditet u intenzivnom liječenju. Srećom, virus
je sve manje ugrožavajući za bolesnika, a za osoblje postaje dijelom rutinskog posla.

Abstract (english)

At the end of 2019, a coronavirus identified as SARS-CoV-2 appeared in China,
causing viral pneumonia, and due to its easy transmissibility, the disease soon
spread all over the world. The most common route of transmission is through
droplets, when sneezing and coughing, and the estimated incubation time is between
2 and 14 days. Nursing care for a COVID-19 positive patient includes a large number
of different interventions performed in a team with a physician and other health care
personnel. Starting from the very admission of the patient, the work in the intensive
care unit can often be dynamic and require quick intervention. The nursing role
includes patient health care, monitoring and measuring vital functions, blood
sampling, preparation, and participation in the implementation of various procedures
in the treatment of patients together with the doctor. Despite numerous initial
challenges, the high mortality of patients and the stress of healthcare providers, two
years later, COVID-19 is slowly becoming a comorbidity in intensive care.
Fortunately, the virus is less and less dangerous for patients, and it is becoming a
part of the routine work for the staff.
