Association of Cardiac Injury With Mortality in Hospitalized Patients With COVID-19 in Wuhan, China
(2020-03-25)Importance Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has resulted in considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide since December 2019. However, information on cardiac injury in patients affected by COVID-19 is limited. Objective ... -
Charlson comorbidity index and a composite of poor outcomes in COVID-19 patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2020-10-28)Background and aims: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is disproportionately affecting patients with comorbidities. Therefore, thorough comorbidities assessment can help establish risk stratification of patients with COVID-19, ... -
Current Evidence of Interleukin-6 Signaling Inhibitors in Patients With COVID-19: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
(2020-12-15)Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be detrimental in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) because of its involvement in driving cytokine storm. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess the safety ... -
Differential ventilation using flow control valves as a potential bridge to full ventilatory support during the COVID-19 crisis
(2020-04-21)Background: It has been projected that there will be too few ventilators to meet demand during the COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2) pandemic. Ventilator sharing has been suggested as a crisis standard of care strategy to increase ... -
Epidemiology, clinical course, and outcomes of critically ill adults with COVID-19 in New York City: a prospective cohort study
(2020-04-20)Background: Nearly 30,000 patients with coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) have been hospitalized in New York City as of April 14th, 2020. Data on the epidemiology, clinical course, and outcomes of critically ill patients ... -
High frequency of SARS-CoV-2 RNAemia and association with severe disease
(2020-05-01)Background: Detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the blood, also known as RNAemia, has been reported, but its prognostic implications are not well understood. This study aimed to determine the frequency of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in ... -
High levels of PEEP are not better than low levels for reducing mortality in adult ICU patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI)
(2020-03-18)What is this? Some patients with COVID-19 will develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or acute lung injury (ALI) and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an ... -
Immunonutrition with omega-3 fatty acids or antioxidants for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in adults
(2020-03-17)What is this? Some patients with COVID-19 will develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and may need mechanical ventilation (MV) to help with their breathing. ARDS is an overwhelming systemic inflammatory process ... -
Mechanical ventilation weaning protocols in critically ill adults and children
(2020-03-24)What is this? Some patients with COVID-19 will develop respiratory failure and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU). Various methods are ... -
Noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation may help wean patients off mechanical ventilation
(2020-03-20)What is this? Some patients with COVID-19 will develop respiratory failure and need help with their breathing. This might be provided by mechanical ventilation (MV) in an intensive care unit (ICU), but this can cause ... -
Obesity a predictor of outcomes of COVID‐19 hospitalized patients‐ A systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis
(2020-09-25)Background: COVID‐19 pandemic is a global health crisis. Very few studies have reported association between obesity and severity of COVID‐19. In this meta‐analysis, we assessed the association of obesity and outcomes in ... -
Prone position during mechanical ventilation in critically ill patients
(2020-03-25)Citation: Bloomfield R, Noble DW, Sudlow A. Prone position for acute respiratory failure in adults. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2015; (11): CD008095 What is this? Some patients with COVID-19 will become ... -
Prone position for acute respiratory failure in adults
(2015-11-13)Background: Acute hypoxaemia de novo or on a background of chronic hypoxaemia is a common reason for admission to intensive care and for provision of mechanical ventilation. Various refinements of mechanical ventilation ... -
