Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), a contagious novel coronavirus now called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2; formerly called 2019-nCoV).
Cardiac injury is a common condition among the hospitalized patients with COVID-19. It t was recently reported that 19.7% patients
Undoubtedly, one of the most important elements of life on earth is oxygen. Aerobic organisms adapted to the 20.8% oxygen ratio in the atmosphere have survived even lower than this concentration by developing various defense mechanisms. The real question is whether high levels of oxygen in the
Mechanical ventilation is the cornerstone of supportive management for most ARDS patients to prevent life-threatening hypoxemia. Arterial oxygenation can be improved via ventilator by increasing fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2) and/or increasing mean airway pressure. When treating mechanically
Background and scientific rationale:
During the COVID-19 pandemic, health care systems around the world are overwhelmed.
Surge of patients requiring hospital admission have led to shortages of ICU beds and mechanical ventilators. As an emerging clinical entity, little is known about the precise
Background
COVID-19 has shown a lower case-fatality rate compared to other major viral outbreaks in contemporary history, including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) of 2002-2003. However, the relative susceptibility to symptomatic infection and the case fatality risk increase substantially
This is an interventional study evaluating the beneficial impact of verticalization of patients with ARDS on pathophysiological parameters.
This therapeutic study aims to test patient's position using dedicated beds (Total Lift Bed™, VitalGo Systems Inc., Arjo AB). The study consists of comparing
1. COVID-19 has a high infection rate and mortality, and serious complications such as heart injury cannot be ignored.
At present, the scale and harm of COVID 19 (Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has far surpassed that of SARS in 2003, with more than 80,000 cases confirmed in China and 3,119 deaths
STUDY OBJECTIVE The objective of the study is to estimate the frequency of cardiac arrhythmias and characterize the mode of death in patients with the novel coronavirus disease (SARS-CoV-2; COVID-19).
INTRODUCTION, RATIONALE The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019
Recent information on patients at risk for developing serious complications, including death, in the setting of COVID-19, indicate that those with cardiometabolic disease (hypertension, type 2 diabetes, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, heart failure, and/or kidney disease at baseline) are at
Sleep breathing disorders are a frequent and serious health problem in the Polish population. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder. The essence of OSA is repeated episodes of airway obstruction that occur repeatedly during sleep, resulting in a decrease in the level of partial oxygen
Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) is defined, by the Working Group of Cardiac Intensive Care of the Spanish Society of Intensive, Critical Medicine and Coronary Units, as a cardiac index (CI) <2.2 l / min / m2. LCOS is due to left and/or right ventricular failure and may be associated with
Introduction Incisional hernia is the most common long-term complication following abdominal surgery with an estimated incidence of 10.3% within 24 months. Large incisional hernias are associated with patient discomfort, reduced quality of life and are surgically challenging with increased risks of
Closed-loop control of oxygen therapy is described in the literature used for preterm infants, trauma patients, medical emergency use, and for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). O2matic is a closed-loop system that is based on continuous and non-invasive measurement of pulse
SURVEY OF THE FIELD Ischemia and reperfusion (I/R) - elicited tissue injury contributes to morbidity and mortality. In organ transplantation, it is a major challenge. The imbalance in metabolic supply and demand within the ischemic organ results in tissue hypoxia and microvascular dysfunction. The
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a disorder with high prevalence, estimated to occur in 34% of men and 17% of women , afflicting more than 100 million adults worldwide.
OSA is the third most common serious respiratory condition after Asthma and COPD.
Patients with untreated OSA are at increased risk
