Abstract

Background: During the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wave, an unprecedented number of patients with respiratory failure due to a new, highly contagious virus needed hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) admission. The aim of the present study was to describe the communication and visiting policies of Italian intensive care units (ICUs) during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave and national lockdown and compare these data with prepandemic conditions. Methods: A national web-based survey was conducted among 290 Italian hospitals. Each ICU (active between February 24 and May 31, 2020) was encouraged to complete an individual questionnaire inquiring the hospital/ICU structure/organization, communication/visiting habits and the role of clinical psychology prior to, and during the first COVID-19 pandemic wave. Results: Two hundred and nine ICUs from 154 hospitals (53% of the contacted hospitals) completed the survey (202 adult and 7 pediatric ICUs). Among adult ICUs, 60% were dedicated to COVID-19 patients, 21% were dedicated to patients without COVID-19 and 19% were dedicated to both categories (Mixed). A total of 11,102 adult patients were admitted to the participating ICUs during the study period and only approximately 6% of patients received at least one visit. Communication with family members was guaranteed daily through an increased use of electronic devices and was preferentially addressed to the same family member. Compared to the prepandemic period, clinical psychologists supported physicians more often regarding communication with family members. Fewer patients received at least one visit from family members in COVID and mixed-ICUs than in non-COVID ICUs, l (0 [0-6]%, 0 [0-4]% and 11 [2-25]%, respectively, p < 0.001). Habits of pediatric ICUs were less affected by the pandemic. Conclusions: Visiting policies of Italian ICUs dedicated to adult patients were markedly altered during the first COVID-19 wave. Remote communication was wi

5. Ultrasound emergency lateral-to-medial parasternal pericardiocentesis with high frequency probe in COVID-19: a case report.

Abstract

Background: The pathological involvement of the heart is frequent in SARS-Coronavirus-2 infection (COVID-19) with various clinical and echocardiographic manifestations during the course of the disease., Case Summary: A 69-year-old female patient with severe COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing mechanical ventilation developed acute left ventricular dysfunction, that successfully improved with vasoactive therapy. After 5 days, she suddenly developed hemodynamic instability due to acute onset of pericardial effusion, which required emergency pericardiocentesis. Ultrasound-guided parasternal pericardiocentesis with high-frequency linear probe and lateral-to-medial in-plane approach was performed by inserting a central venous catheter using a Seldinger technique. 700 mL of serous fluid was drained resolving the acute critical state., Discussion: Pericardial effusion with cardiac tamponade is a rare manifestation of Covid-19. Despite the diffusion of echocardiography, emergency cardiac procedures could be particularly difficult to be performed in a pandemic scenario of limited resources and the heterogeneous skills of the professional figures involved in the management of COVID-19 patients. The spread of expertise in ultrasound-guided vascular cannulation makes this approach attractive for anesthesiologists, emergency medicine and critical care specialists too. Furthermore in this pericardiocentesis' technique, the high-frequency linear probe adds optimal spatial resolution to maintain a close control of the needle's direction. However the need of a good parasternal view and a deep ultrasound knowledge are crucial to avoid iatrogenic complications. In conclusion, ultrasound-guided lateral-to-medial parasternal pericardiocentesis with high-frequency linear probe is an alternative to treat potential lethal acute haemodynamic instability due to cardiac tamponade., (© The Author(s) 2022.

Abstract

Despite the various parenchymal presentation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, the involvement of the vascular component, the reduction of perfusion in noninjured part of the lung and secondary right to left shunt play an important role in the genesis of the respiratory insufficiency. We present the case of a 72-year-old woman admitted to Livorno Hospital for severe respiratory insufficiency due to SARS-CoV-2 infection unresponsive to noninvasive in whom administration of nebulized phosphodiesterase 3 (PDE3) inhibitor enoximone was able to improve oxygenation avoiding tracheal intubation. Intravenous infusions of phosphodiesterase inhibitors are commonly used as pulmonary vasodilators in the management of pulmonary hypertension. This is the first case showing that inhaled route administration of PDE3 inhibitor enoximone could be important in the management of COVID-19 hypoxemia, to restore perfusion in noninjured part of the lung, improving oxygenation and avoiding risks of systemic infusion.

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) due to Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-producing K (KPC-Kp) development in ICU patients with documented rectal and tracheal colonization., Methods: We performed a retrospective, matched case-control study in a medical-surgical ICU (January 2011-December 2013) comparing 30 patients who developed KPC-Kp VAP during the ICU stay to 60 colonized patients not developing KPC-Kp VAP. Analysed risk factors included: age, sex, SAPS II and SOFA scores, comorbidities, type and length of antibiotic therapy, previous non KPC-Kp infections, time between admission to rectal and tracheal colonization., Results: Several risk factors were more frequent among patients who developed KPC-Kp pneumonia versus matched colonized controls: previous infection not related to KPC-Kp (P<0.001), duration of previous antibiotic therapy before (P<0.001) and after (P=0.002) KPC-Kp colonization. Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid prophylaxis was administered in 17% of VAP patients versus 73% of patients not developing VAP (P<0.001). Multivariate conditional logistic regression analysis identified several significant independent risk factors favoring KPC-Kp VAP in patients colonized at multiple sites: previous non KPC-Kp infections (OR: 2.046), duration of previous antibiotic therapy before (OR: 1.309) and after (OR: 1.122) KPC-Kp colonization; antibiotic therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid prophylaxis (<48 hours) was associated with reduced risk of KPC-Kp VAP (OR: 0.987)., Conclusions: In rectal and tracheal KPC-Kp colonized patients, prolonged antibiotic therapy administered for non KPC-Kp infection predisposes patients to subsequent KPC-Kp VAP. Short prophylaxis of early pneumonia with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, reducing the need for subsequent antibiotic use, may be associated with reduced risk for KPC-Kp VAP.
