Trans-Telephonic Electro-Cardiographic Monitoring (TTEM) centre, is an easy to use tool, now freely available in India. Between May 1996 and May 1997, 398 patients were registered at Escorts Heart Alert Centre (EHAC) for TTEM; 321 (81%) males and 77(19%) females. Age range was from 1 month to 95 years 65% patients were from New Delhi; 35% from other cities in India and abroad. Patients' clinical profile were post-CABG, post-PTCA, post-MI, patients after discharge; evaluation of chest pain, palpitation, chronic angina, arrhythmias, and pace-maker follow up. Out of 664 symptomatic transmissions, 510 (77%) were for cardiac symptoms like chest pain 309 (61%); palpitation 90 (18%); uneasiness 61(12%); dizziness 28(5%) breathlessness 22(4%). 154(23%) were for non-cardiac symptoms like stitch pain and backache (51); Atypical chest pain (39); weakness and fever (45) and sweating (19). 84%, 78% and 75% patients of chest pain, palpitation and dizziness respectively transmitted their ECGs within one hour of the onset of the symptoms. Out of 664 symptomatic transmissions, 531 required either re-assurance or drug-dose adjustment on telephone. 97 were called to OPD on elective basis. 36 patients were advised immediate hospitalization, for acute management. TTEM was useful in avoiding 628 unnecessary visits to the hospital whereas 36 patients, were immediately hospitalized, for receiving acute life-saving interventions.

Otorhinolaryngological manifestations are common among patients suffering from COVID-19. This study provides a brief and precise review of the current knowledge regarding COVID-19 including disease transmission and clinical characteristics. This article aims to review the otolaryngologist experience treating patients in the cities where COVID 19 impact is most, and to propose appropriate protective measures while managing ENT patients. This is a retrospective study conducted in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Hind Institute of Medical Sciences, Ataria, Sitapur from 10 March 2020 to 4 May 2020. The most common otolaryngological symptoms of COVID-19 were cough, sore throat, and dyspnea. Rhinorrhea, nasal congestion and dizziness also seen in some of the patients. COVID-19 could also manifest as an isolated sudden hyposmia/anosmia. Upper respiratory tract (URT) symptoms were commonly observed in younger patients and usually appeared initially. They could be present even before the molecular confirmation of SARS-CoV-2. Otolaryngologists are at higher risk for SARS-CoV-2 infection as they cope with URT symptoms in OPD and while performing surgery in COVID-19 positive patients. Patients with cough, sore throat, dyspnea, hyposmia/anosmia and a history of travel to the region with confirmed COVID-19 patients, should be considered as potential COVID-19 cases. An otolaryngologist should wear FFP3/N95 mask, glasses, disposable and fluid resistant gloves and gown while examining such individuals. ENT surgeries should be postponed if not urgent.
