COVID-19 induced ischemic stroke and mechanisms of viral entry in brain and clot formation: a systematic review and current update
Conclusion: Data available in the literature is not adequate to come to a conclusion. Therefore, there is a need to carry out further studies to delineate the possible association between SCV-2 induced IS.PMID:35412938 | DOI:10.1080/00207454.2022.2056460

Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID ‐19: The lessons learned from the first wave of COVID‐19
ConclusionsBased on our experience, ECMO can improve refractory ARDS due to COVID ‐19 in select patients. Proper control of bacterial infections during COVID‐19 immunomodulation therapy may be critical to improving survival.

The results of cardiac surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic compared with previous years: a propensity weighted study of outcomes at six months
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac surgery is as safe now as in the previous five years. Concerns over the transmission of COVID-19 in hospital are understandable but patients should be encouraged not to delay seeking medical attention. All involved in healthcare and the wider public should be reassured by these findings.PMID:35129400 | DOI:10.1177/01410768221077357

Electroencephalography at the height of a pandemic: EEG findings in patients with COVID-19
CONCLUSIONS: Most COVID-19 patients who underwent VEEG monitoring had severe COVID-19 and over one-third had acute cerebral injury (e.g., stroke, anoxia). Seizures were uncommon. VEEG findings were nonspecific.SIGNIFICANCE: VEEG findings in this cohort of hospitalized COVID-19 patients were those often seen in critical illness. Seizures were uncommon and occurred in the setting of common seizure risk factors.PMID:35305494 | PMC:PMC8901228 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2022.03.001

Blood clotting abnormalities reveal COVID-19 patients at risk for thrombotic events
(American College of Surgeons) When researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, used a combination of two specific blood-clotting tests, they found critically ill patients infected with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) who were at high risk for developing renal failure, venous blood clots, and other complications associated with blood clots, such as stroke.

Hyperacute multi-organ thromboembolic storm in COVID-19: a case report
We report a 66-year-old female patient with post-mortem diagnosis of COVID-19 who presented progressive livedo racemosa, acute renal failure and myocardial injury, as well as an absence of respiratory symptoms. Transthoracic echocardiography showed severe spontaneous echo contrast in the right cardiac chambers and right-sided cardiac overload presumed to result from pulmonary microvascular thrombosis or embolism.d-dimer levels were increased. The patient developed an acute ischemic stroke and died 2  days following presentation despite therapeutic anticoagulation. Her predominantly thromboembolic presentation supports the...

Studying the Clinical Data of COVID Positive patients admitted to a tertiary care academic hospital
Conclusion: The most common presenting symptoms included fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Patients who required ICU admission at presentation had a worse prognosis. Those with greater severity of symptoms were mainly elderly patients among which the most common comorbidity was hypertention followed by cardiac disease.

Torsades de Pointes in Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection
A 73-YEAR-OLD MAN (weight 69 kg, height 175 cm) was transferred to the authors ’ critical care unit with respiratory and acute renal failure secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. His past medical history included hypertension, diabetes, and previous stroke, from which he had made a full recovery. The patient was treated with mechanical ventilation and p eritoneal dialysis. He was recruited into the hydroxychloroquine arm of the RECOVERY (Randomised Evaluation of COVID-19 Therapy) trial.

Intensive Care Unit Management of the Adult with Congenital Heart Disease
AbstractPurposeAdults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are a rapidly growing population with ever-increasing complexity, and intensive care unit (ICU) management is often necessary. This review summarizes common cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular complications in ACHD and provides a framework for ICU care.Recent FindingsHeart failure is the leading cause of hospitalization and mortality in ACHD. Varied anatomy and repairs, as well as differing physiological complications, limit generalized application of management algorithms. Recent studies suggest that earlier mechanical support in advanced cases is feasible and p...

Kidney Disease and Epilepsy
The family of a 47-year-old man with end stage renal failure on hemodialysis brought him to the emergency room. He had missed 3 sessions of dialysis due to concerns for COVID-19 precautions. He had developed increasing confusion and generalized weakness. Examination showed altered mental status and disorientation to date and place. He had bilateral gaze evoked nystagmus and asterixis in his upper extremities. His lab work showed Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) of 75  mg/dL and Creatinine of 6.2 mg/dL. His EEG showed generalized triphasic waves (Fig. 1).

Reconstruction of COVID-19-Related Compartment Syndrome With Massive Soft Tissue Necrosis
CONCLUSIONS: Massive rhabdomyolysis resulted in acute tubular necrosis with renal failure requiring hemodialysis. The timing of reconstruction of the sequelae of compartment syndrome in an acutely ill patient is challenging, but optimal timing can result in a successful outcome.PMID:33872203
