  1. PORTABLE TESTING SERVICES DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC! BY:- CALCUTTA HEART RESEARCH CENTER AND DAIGNOSTIC PATHOLOGY LAB

  2. The COVID-19 pandemic has posed unparallel health, economic and social challenges around the world. Undoubtedly, the provision of appropriate medical care and practicing physical distancing is the most crucial step to curb the spread of the disease until the vaccine is developed. Let us discuss Portable Services of CHRC During COVID-19. This situation called for major changes in the healthcare system across India. With several hospitals running out of beds or medical supplies and patients being turned away from hospital doorsteps, sufferers have been largely inconvenienced. In view of this, the government proclaimed prioritization of only emergent visits - COVID patients requiring immediate treatment and enabled treatment-at-home services.

  3. This measure came as a big relief to people as now they can get treated at the comfort of their homes, without shelling a fortune. In short, this patient-friendly, the affordable initiative will not only examine the health of patients right at their home but also prevent overcrowding at hospitals where risks of infection are higher. We, at Calcutta Heart Research Centre (CHRC), ensures the best in class portable treatment services for your best experience. We are at your convenience 24/7. Portable Services of CHRC During COVID-19 are X-Ray, ECG, Holter monitoring, ABPM, EMG, NCV and EEG.

  4. X-RAY • Imaging procedures are crucial in COVID-19 cases for early detection of deterioration in patients and also to assess the course of the disease. • X-rays are a form of electromagnetic radiation for medical imaging of the inside of our body. • X-ray imaging of any patient with advanced symptoms would evaluate pneumonia. • X-ray examinations are also considered for patients suspected with moderate to severe symptoms of acute respiratory diseases. If the initial chest X-ray produces visible signs of COVID-19, simultaneous examinations are suggested to properly monitor the course of the disease. They can also be used to examine the heart and record lung sounds of the patients undergoing treatment. • Portable x-ray services can save you the discomfort of shifting a bedridden patient to the hospital which in return saves us a huge amount of money as well. We are happy to provide this service right at your doorstep.

  5. ECG • Cardiac involvement is largely being reported in patients with COVID-19, which are reflected by Electrocardiographic (ECG) changes. Dynamic changes in ECG, however, proves that the patient is in a critical condition. It is also reported that acute cardiac injury is not uncommon in patients with mild to moderate condition and is, in fact, higher in critically ill patients. • Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram by placing electrodes on the skin. It is used to check rhythm, rate, electrical activity and any types of heart diseases. • ECG machines aim to collect and analyze the ECGs of patients with COVID infection and evaluate their relationship with any cardiac involvement and prognosis. It is then repeated to carry out cardiogram to patients after a few days by simultaneously performing. In this duration, any evolutions of ECG alterations are usually described with respect to the relationship with cardiac involvement in patients.

  6. AMBULATORY BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR • Blood pressure monitoring has always been an important part of general health checkup practices and hence ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) is now one of the key services delivered in-home services for the COVID treatment. • ABPM can help monitor blood pressure during daily life activities as it is attached to the body for 24-48 hours. It also helps diagnose white coat hypertension, how much blood pressure falls during sleep and the total burden of hypertension. • About one-third of adults have hypertension. Also known as high blood pressure in general, hypertension is a condition that strongly increases the risk of major heart events, strokes and kidney diseases. • Sometimes hypertensive therapy for COVID patients can be associated with low blood pressures. This can be dangerous, particularly for patients with diabetes or with the heredity of strokes. Ambulatory monitoring can detect drops in blood pressure. • In addition to acute respiratory distress symptoms, patients with severe COVID‐19 are now developing a myocardial injury, resulting in heart failure and kidney injury.

  7. HOLTER MONITOR • Now that 'home treatment services' are re-emerging as a safer alternative to hospital visits and in-person care, remote heart monitoring tools are having a breakthrough in the market. • The Holter monitor is a type of portable electrocardiography machine (ECG). It records the electrical activity of the heart continuously over 24 hours to evaluate arrhythmia- irregularities in heart condition or any kind of heart condition. • The devices are proving extremely useful during the pandemic for a sweep of reasons such as, their ability to catch undiagnosed heart irregularities in COVID affected patients who missed routine medical appointments, or their usefulness in examining Covid-19 patients’ responses to experimental medications that may impact the heart.

  8. EEG,NCV,EMG • Neurological complications of COVID-19 are not well-described but central and peripheral nervous system involvement are to be expected since COVID-19 is potentially a neurotropic virus. • It is known that human coronaviruses can be spread from the respiratory tract to the central nervous system through trans-neuronal and hematogenic pathways, resulting in encephalitis and neurological diseases. • EEG is an electrophysiological monitoring method to track vibrations of the brain using electrodes attached to your scalp. EEG results show changes (if any) in brain activity that is useful for diagnosing brain conditions like epilepsy and other seizure disorders. • EMG, on the other hand, is generally performed two weeks after the clinical onset of any neurological disease except for repetitive nerve stimulation or single-fibre EMG tests on patients with suspected neuromuscular disease in critical condition. EMG results can also reveal nerve dysfunction or muscle dysfunction.

  9. A related procedure of NCV-nerve conduction velocity is also used to gauge any damage and destruction to the nerves that lead away from the brain and spinal cord to the smaller nerves branching out from them. They too, help in detecting nerve disorders like epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. • All these procedures help to detect the presence, location, and extent of the COVID flue that may damage the nerves and muscles.
