Neurological Injury in COVID-19 Patients Who Receive VV-ECMO Therapy: A Cohort Study
Both thrombotic and bleeding events have been implicated in the progression of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).1,2 Such dysregulation of coagulation has been associated with poor prognosis.3,4 Neurologic sequelae, such as ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), have been reported in COVID-19 patients at rates of 0.9%-2.3% and 0.9%, respectively.5,6,7,8 Limited data exists on neurological events in COVID-19 patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) who require extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) due to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

A New Approach to Detect Nonconvulsive Seizures in Patients in a Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit by Monitoring Heart Rate Variability
CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS GRAFTING (CABG) surgery has been associated with different neurologic complications such as intracerebral hemorrhage, seizures, delirium, cognitive impairment, and peripheral neuropathy.1,2 Specifically, the incidence of seizures after cardiac surgery varies between 0.5% and 7.6%.3 Seizures are due mainly to thromboembolic ischemic stroke, cerebral air embolism, or specific drugs.4 When seizures occur, recurrence rates range between 40% and 66%, and an association with an abnormal outcome has been reported.

Volatile Anesthesia for Carotid Endarterectomy: Friend or Foe for the Brain?
DESPITE SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENTS in the management of patients with cardiovascular disease, stroke remains the second leading cause of death worldwide.1 Ischemic strokes account for 87% of all strokes, whereas 10% result from intracerebral hemorrhage, and 3% are subarachnoid hemorrhage strokes.
