Residual lung damage following ARDS in COVID-19 ICU survivors

Nicola Compagnone et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the mid-term lung status of COVID-19 survivors, finding 59% had radiological lung sequelae and 63% had functional lung sequelae. The duration of mechanical ventilation and tidal volume per kilogram of ideal body weight were identified as independent predictors of lung abnormalities.

Barotrauma in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Patients Undergoing Invasive Mechanical Ventilation: A Systematic Literature Review*

Alessandro Belletti et al.

Summary: This systematic literature review examined the rates of barotrauma, pneumothorax, and pneumomediastinum in coronavirus disease 2019 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome receiving invasive mechanical ventilation. The study found that barotrauma occurred in about one out of six patients and was associated with a mortality rate of approximately 60%. The rate of barotrauma in coronavirus disease 2019 patients may be higher compared to noncoronavirus disease 2019 controls.

Continuous positive airway pressure and pronation outside the Intensive Care Unit in COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome

Giuseppe A. Ramirez et al.

Summary: This study examined the efficacy and safety of continuous positive airway pressure and respiratory physiotherapy outside the Intensive Care Unit for COVID-19 patients. The results showed that continuous positive airway pressure with patient mobilization, including pronation, was effective and safe for managing COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome outside the Intensive Care Unit.

Outcomes of noninvasive ventilation as the ceiling of treatment in patients with COVID-19

Giuseppe A. Ramirez et al.

Summary: NIV and physiotherapy are viable treatment options for patients with severe COVID-19 and severe comorbidities, providing symptom relief and respiratory support. However, patients with NIV as the ceiling of treatment require special attention due to a higher risk of treatment failure and death.

Comprehensive Health Assessment 3 Months After Recovery From Acute Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Bram van den Borst et al.

Summary: This study conducted a comprehensive health assessment on recovered COVID-19 patients from Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, the Netherlands, and found severe problems in multiple health domains. The research revealed that a significant number of discharged patients experienced lung function abnormalities, residual pulmonary parenchymal abnormalities, low exercise capacity, mental and cognitive issues, as well as fatigue. Longer follow-up studies are needed to understand natural trajectories and predictors of complicated long-term recovery paths.

Psychiatric and neuropsychiatric sequelae of COVID-19-A systematic review

Thor Mertz Schou et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients may exhibit psychiatric symptoms such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, cognitive deficits, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Potential risk factors include disease severity, duration of symptoms, and female sex. Survivors of COVID-19 are at risk of psychiatric sequelae, but symptoms generally improve over time.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Summary: Pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum are common complications in COVID-19 patients with ARDS, associated with increased mortality. Predictors for their development include time from symptom onset to intubation and total bilirubin levels on the second day after ICU admission.

Quality of life of COVID-19 critically ill survivors after ICU discharge: 90 days follow-up

Lorenzo Gamberini et al.

Summary: The study investigated the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of COVID-19 ARDS patients 90 days after ICU discharge, finding that the HRQoL was significantly lower in both physical and mental dimensions compared to matched populations in Italy and Finland. Age, sex, number of comorbidities, ARDS class, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and occupational status were identified as significant determinants of the 90-day HRQoL.

Functional status of mechanically ventilated COVID-19 survivors at ICU and hospital discharge

Benjamin Musheyev et al.

Summary: The majority of COVID-19 patients treated with invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) were not functionally independent at hospital discharge, despite being independent prior to illness. Factors associated with worse functional status at discharge included longer duration on IMV, older age, male sex, higher number of comorbidities, and the presence of pre-existing conditions like hypertension, diabetes, COPD, and immunosuppression. These findings highlight the need for further studies to understand the short- and long-term outcomes in COVID-19 survivors.

Summary: The short-term follow-up of COVID-19 patients reveals pulmonary dysfunction, myocardial damage, and severe psychological distress. Most patients suffer from functional limitations post-hospitalization, with dyspnea on exertion being the most frequently reported symptom possibly related to decreased DLCOc. Long-term follow-up is needed to investigate changes in lung function.
