Ventilatory associated barotrauma in COVID-19 patients: A multicenter observational case control study (COVI-MIX-study)

Luigi Vetrugno et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of different respiratory support strategies on barotrauma in COVID-19 patients and determine the clinical characteristics of patients who experienced barotrauma. The study found that non-invasive ventilation (C-PAP/PSV) increased the risk of barotrauma compared to conventional oxygen therapy or high flow nasal oxygen. The frequency of barotrauma was 1.00% and mainly occurred in patients with severe COVID-19. Barotrauma was independently associated with mortality.

The mechanism of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome in patients with COVID-19

Wenbin Zhao et al.

Summary: COVID-19 is a respiratory disease caused by SARS-CoV-2. It not only affects the respiratory system but also leads to systemic symptoms and multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS). The entry of SARS-CoV-2 into cells is mediated by the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 protein, which plays a role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance and the stability of the internal environment.

Physical, cognitive and mental health outcomes in 1-year survivors of COVID-19-associated ARDS

Nicola Latronico et al.

Summary: This study reported on the outcomes of 114 COVID-19-associated ARDS survivors evaluated at 3, 6, and 12 months after discharge from the ICU, showing persisting impairment in physical function, while activities of daily living, cognitive and mental health status, and health-related quality of life may be less impaired. The study found improvements in handgrip dynamometry and cognitive impairment over time, but 6 min walk test, severe fatigue, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms did not show significant improvements.

Long-COVID Syndrome and the Cardiovascular System: A Review of Neurocardiologic Effects on Multiple Systems

Nicholas L. DePace et al.

Summary: Long-COVID syndrome is a multi-organ disorder that persists beyond 12 weeks after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. The effects of the virus on the body can lead to neuro-cardiology involvement, causing symptoms such as myocardial injury, arrhythmia, and autonomic dysfunction. Treating the underlying autonomic dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress is crucial in relieving the symptoms. A comprehensive evaluation of the cardiac and autonomic nervous system is recommended, and treating cardiac symptoms often involves addressing the P&S dysfunction.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, high prevalence and severity of both symptoms of acute stress disorder during the ICU stay and PTSD symptoms 3 months later were observed in the next of kin of ICU patients. Communication/information, support, distressing emotions, and suspension of ICU visits were mentioned as relevant aspects by the next of kin.

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: The surge in severe COVID-19 cases has led to the triaging of ICU admissions, with significant variability in guidelines globally. Various themes such as ethical frameworks, criteria for admission and discharge, and decision-making processes are covered, highlighting the lack of consensus in resource allocation during the pandemic.

PTSD as an Endothelial Disease: Insights From COVID-19

Adonis Sfera et al.

Summary: The SARS-CoV-2 virus has impacted nearly every aspect of human life, leading to stress-related pathology in vulnerable individuals, with a higher prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder in pandemic survivors. The virus may predispose individuals to stress-related disorders by interfering with stress-processing pathways, disrupting the blood-brain barrier, and activating stress molecules that affect the brain regions involved in stress response. Studies have shown potential benefits of certain medications in treating both posttraumatic stress disorder and severe SARS-CoV-2 illness.

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.

Summary: PTSD symptoms were common among people exposed to trauma resulting from COVID-19 outbreak, with higher prevalence in older age, male, and larger sample size groups. Gender and sample size were initially associated with prevalence, but their significance reduced after controlling for other factors. Additional research is needed to identify more risk factors and effective prevention strategies for PTSD-related symptoms in this population.
