Sepsis 已经成为危重症医学中较为常见的一种综合征，它定义为因病原体感染而引起的全身性炎症反应综合征。严重Sepsis患者预后不佳，治疗上也较为困难，特别是合并Septic Shock和多器官功能不全综合征（MODS）的患者，死亡率仍然较高，因此近年来在临床及研究上均已引起明显的重视。为了能促进Sepsis的研究及治疗，国际上多个医学专科分会联合发起“拯救Sepsis运动（Surviving Sepsis Campaign, SSC）”，并于2004年首次发表了相应的指南，即Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guideline for Management of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock。今年初SSC再次发表了新版的指南，主要是结合近年的研究成果而在原版的基础上进行适当的补充和更新，以指导临床上严重Sepsis的抢救及治疗。
ObjectiveTo understand the relationship between post-traumatic stress disorder (PSTD) and perceived stress in suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients quarantined in hospital.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 93 suspected COVID-19 patients in one of grade-A tertiary hospital in Southwest China was carried out to evaluate the incidence of perceived stress and post-traumatic stress symptoms among these patients using the standardized Perceived Stress Scale-10 (PSS-10) and PTSD Checklist-5 (PCL-5), respectively. Pearson correlation was used to analyze the correlation between PCL-5 and PSS-10 scores.ResultsTotal PSS-10 and PCL-5 scores were 16.7±5.2 and 17.0±11.6 in 93 suspected COVID-19 patients, respectively. Positive correlations between PSS-10 and PCL-5 scores were detected (Pearson’s r=0.722, P=0.000).ConclusionsThe occurrence and development of PSTD of suspected COVID-19 patients have the relationship with the early perceived pressure. It suggests that medical staff should identify and intervene the perceived pressure level of patients who are under quarantine as suspected COVID-19 early and effectively, so as to reduce the occurrence of PTSD.
