Disease outbreaks involving public whirlpools have been reported frequently since their use has become popular in recent years. Because public whirlpools are often used by persons who have only transient contact, infections resulting from their use are difficult to identify, and published reports probably represent only a small portion of a larger public health problem. Most published outbreaks have reported Pseudomonas aeruginosa contamination of the whirlpool as a result of failure to operate the pool according to recommended practices. Maintaining the microbiologic quality of whirlpool water and preventing infection absolutely require regular operation and maintenance, including monitoring and record keeping by qualified personnel.

Review
BACKGROUND
Hydrotherapy is a commonly used treatment modality to manage various conditions including diabetes in the Naturopathy system of medicine. The objective of the current scoping review is to find the effectiveness of hydrotherapy on plasma blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetes.
CONTENT
Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework was adopted for this scoping review. The studies which used hydrotherapy intervention for the management of diabetes or the effect of hydrotherapy on plasma glucose levels were considered eligible. PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane library, and Google scholar were searched for English- language published articles till December 20, 2022. The following Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) and keyword search terms were used ("diabetes" OR "type 2 diabetes" OR "diabetes mellitus" OR "plasma glucose level") AND ("hydrotherapy" OR "water therapy" OR "balneotherapy"). Two investigators independently assessed the studies for inclusion. Review articles, abstracts, and articles including the aquatic exercises as interventions were excluded.
SUMMARY
In total, six studies met the inclusion criteria. Out of six, two studies used hot therapies, two studies cold therapy, and the remaining two used both hot and cold as interventions. The study results showed that hydrotherapy can be used as an effective intervention tool for blood glucose levels in patients with type 2 diabetes.
OUTLOOK
Integrating hydrotherapy treatments alongside conventional management can reduce blood glucose levels and thus reduce diabetes-related complications.

Continuous i.v. infusion of propofol, or propofol plus ketamine for deep sedation and analgesia was carried out in two patients with severe epidermolysis bullosa (EB) during extensive dressing changes and deep whirlpool baths. Intermittent small doses of narcotics were given as supplement for pain relief as needed. Both patients had typical features of severe EB, including extremity contractures, severe digit deformity, difficult airways, extensive blisters and broken skin with denuded areas and severe wound infections. SpO(2) was roughly estimated by holding the probe around the earlobe periodically and no other monitors could be applied because of the skin conditions and the settings of the procedures. Retrospective anesthesia record review showed that the combined propofol and ketamine infusions provided satisfactory sedation with significantly reduced narcotic requirements compared with propofol alone. There were no noticeable side effects when ketamine was added. Ketamine appears to be a good addition to propofol and narcotics to provide sedation and analgesia when there are great concerns for respiration depression, apnea, difficult pain management and potential unstable hemodynamics during dressing changes and whirlpool baths in severe EB patients.
