COVID-19 INFECTION AND MANAGEMENT DURING PREGNANCY, DELIVERY AND POSTPARTUM PERIOD

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic is a crisis situation that causes global public health problems with its medical, psychological and social-economic aspects. Its rapid spread lack of treatment, and fatal course have made the disease an international threat. It has not been reported that COVID-19 infection susceptibility has been increased in pregnant women according to general population. However, women during pregnancy are generally more susceptible to various pregnancy-related complications and respiratory pathogens, which increases the risk of developing adverse pregnancy and newborn outcomes. Effective management during pregnancy allows healthcare professionals to take precautionary measures earlier by knowing possible negative consequences and improving perinatal outcomes. In this study; it is aimed to examine the effective control and management of COVID-19 infection in pregnancy, delivery and postpartum period in line with the current literature and to guide health care professionals.

GEBELİK, DOĞUM VE DOĞUM SONU DÖNEMDE COVID-19 ENFEKSİYONU VE YÖNETİMİ

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemisi tıbbi, psikolojik ve sosyal-ekonomik yönleriyle küresel halk sağlığı sorununa neden olan bir kriz durumudur. Hızlı yayılması, tedavisinin olmaması ve ölümcül seyretmesi hastalığı uluslararası bir tehdit haline getirmiştir. Gebe kadınlarda genel popülasyona göre COVID-19 enfeksiyonu için artmış bir duyarlılık bildirilmemiştir. Ancak, gebelik sırasında kadınlar genellikle gebelikle ilgili çeşitli komplikasyonlara ve solunum patojenlerine karşı daha hassastırlar ve bu durum olumsuz gebelik ve yenidoğan sonuçları gelişme riskini artırır. Gebelikte etkin yönetim perinatal sonuçların iyileştirilmesi ve olası olumsuz sonuçların bilinmesi ile sağlık personelinin daha önce ihtiyati önlemler almasına olanak sağlar. Bu çalışmada; gebelik, doğum ve doğum sonu dönemde COVID- 19 enfeksiyonun etkin kontrol ve yönetiminin mevcut literatür doğrultusunda incelenmesi ve sağlık profesyonellerine yol göstermesi amaçlanmıştır.
