Clinical and organizational factors associated with mortality during the peak of first COVID-19 wave: the global UNITE-COVID study

Massimiliano Greco et al.

Summary: This study describes the global burden of COVID-19 admissions and factors associated with outcomes in critically ill patients. ICUs responded to the increase in patients by increasing capacity and admitting up to 40% of patients in surge capacity beds. Older age, invasive mechanical ventilation, and acute kidney injury were identified as the strongest predictors of mortality.

The Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on ICU Organization, Care Processes, and Frontline Clinician Experiences A Qualitative Study

Kelly C. Vranas et al.

Summary: The study found that canceling elective surgeries helped increase ICU capabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, while establishing clearly defined thresholds for limiting surgeries in future surge events. ICU staff was the most limited resource, but strategies such as tiered staffing models, just-in-time training for non-ICU clinicians, designated treatment teams, and trainee deployment helped alleviate staff shortages.

Increasing ICU capacity to accommodate higher demand during the COVID-19 pandemic

Edward Litton et al.

Summary: The number of currently available staffed ICU beds in Australian ICUs is lower than in 2020, but there are sufficient ventilators to equip every ICU bed. ICU capacity can be increased in response to demand, but is constrained by the availability of appropriately trained staff. Less than half of the potentially additional physical ICU beds could be opened with currently available staff numbers while maintaining pre-pandemic models of care.

Epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentations, diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19: a review of current evidence

Sayeeda Rahman et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a public health crisis, infecting millions and leading to numerous deaths. The virus spreads rapidly through direct person-to-person respiratory transmission. With no proven treatments, current clinical management focuses on symptom control, infection prevention, supportive care, and ICU support for severe cases. Developing an effective vaccine is a top priority, with some already approved for prevention.
