Study: hospital outbreaks of #COVID-19 soared partly because wrong staff given PPE (personal protective equipment). https://news.yahoo.com/hospital-covid-outbreaks-soared-part-165211316.html [news yahoo com]

Says patients on respirators in ICUs release fewer aerosols than less severely ill patients who talk and move about.

1. Hospital Covid outbreaks soared in part because wrong staff given PPE
  
  Hospital Covid outbreaks soared in part because the wrong staff were given full personal protective equipment (PPE), a new study suggests. An international team of researchers has established that less severely ill patients are far more likely to infect people around them than those critical enough to require oxygen. The findings appear to contradict official guidelines, which ration the best PPE to doctors and nurses treating patients who require medical oxygen, on the basis that doing so requires the performance of “aerosol-generating procedures”. Often working in intensive care units, these staff are given eye protection, a tight fitting particle respirator mask, long-sleeved fluid-repellent gowns and gloves. Those working with less ill Covid patients had to go without eye protection, were given only a standard surgical mask, as well as a disposable apron and gloves. However, the new findings show that the typical activities of less severely ill Covid patients – breathing, talking, shouting, coughing and exercising – actually generated 100 times more aerosol particles than those receiving oxygen. The study found that oxygen therapies – officially considered the most high-risk for infection – actually reduced the amount of aerosols. It was carried out after figures emerged showing that staff working on wards who wear only standard surgical masks have around two to three times higher rates of infection than those working in ICU. The study, conducted in two UK hospitals and in Australia, comes a year after NHS staff reported significant shortages of PPE as the first wave built to its peak. Nurses at one trust had to resort to using bin liners when aprons ran out.

Rare immune response may be cause of rare clotting illness seen after patients received #AstraZeneca #COVID-19 vaccine.

> Pandemic has cut parents' access to hospitalized children

> Pediatricians have long endorsed the idea that babies and children in hospitals should not be separated from their families - a practice that in many facilities was restricted or discontinued to limit COVID-19 infections, according to new research. From mid-May through early July, researchers collected survey responses from 96 pediatric care units in 22 countries in Europe, Asia, and North America. The results - mostly from intensive care units for newborns - showed that before the pandemic, 87% of units welcomed families and 92% encouraged skin-to-skin care, according to a report published in Journal of Perinatology. After the onset of the pandemic, more than 83% of the hospital units restricted family presence, with additional restrictions placed on parental participation in their infant's care, said study coauthor Ita Litmanovitz of Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba, Israel. Hospitals' decisions to limit family access did not depend on their previous rules, the availability of single-family rooms, or the virus infection rate in the hospital's geographical area. "Restrictions during the pandemic increased separation between the infant and family," the researchers found. These restrictions, Litmanovitz added, "go against psychological and neuroscientiﬁc evidence in support of unrestricted parental presence and ability to care for their hospitalized infants."

1. Immune response may be linked to AstraZeneca vaccine clot issue; death risk rising among young adults in Brazil
  
  (Reuters) -The following is a roundup of some of the latest scientific studies on the novel coronavirus and efforts to find treatments and vaccines for COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. Researchers may have found an explanation for the rare but serious blood clots reported among some people who received AstraZeneca's COVID-19 vaccine. Drugs other than heparin can cause clotting disorders that strongly resemble HIT, and researchers suspect that in rare cases, the AstraZeneca vaccine may be another such trigger.
