E-223 Improved time to diagnosis with portable MR imaging
ConclusionPortable MRI is a promising innovation with the aim to expand patient access and improve diagnostic times so that critical and potential lifesaving imaging diagnoses can be promptly treated with the urgency that is required. While initial analysis provides evidence that portable MRI has advantages over conventional MRI systems including workflow efficiency and improved patient imaging times, this will need to be compared to the unfortunate negative drawbacks of lessened image resolution and limited imaging sequences that come with the convenience of portable MRI systems. If the hypothesis is further corroborated,...

Obesity associated with improved mortality of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe COVID-19 pneumonia
CONCLUSIONS: In patients receiving ECMO for severe COVID-19, neither obesity (BMI >30) nor morbid obesity (BMI >40) were associated with in-hospital mortality. These results are consistent with previous reports and held true after adjusting for age and comorbidities. Our data suggest further examination of the recommendations to withhold ECMO in patients who are obese.PMID:37229525 | DOI:10.1177/02676591231178896

Best Practice Recommendations for Stroke Vascular Imaging During Iodinated Contrast Shortage
GE Healthcare© announced on April 19, 2022, that their main factory and distributor of iodinated contrast had experienced a temporary shutdown because of COVID-19 outbreak in Shanghai, China. This, along with other supply chain issues, led to a worldwide shortage of iodinated contrast agents, Omnipaque and Visipaque. Our Comprehensive Stroke Center was confronted with the cascading effect of this iodinated contrast material shortage. We took immediate steps to revise our protocols and processes to continue to provide high-quality care to our stroke patients. A multidisciplinary working group comprised of representativ...

Perfusion index for early identification of regional anesthesia effectiveness: a narrative review
Minerva Anestesiol. 2023 Feb 17. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.23.17065-9. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRegional anesthesia (RA) is a common and irreplaceable technique in clinical, which can be used in different surgery sites and control of acute and chronic pain, especially for outpatients, pediatrics and the elderly. RA demands are increasing during COVID-19 pandemic because many surgeries could be performed under RA to reduce the risk of cross-infection between patients and health care workers. Early and accurate identification of the effects of RA can help physicians make timely decisions about whether to supplement analg...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the provision of endovascular thrombectomy for stroke: an Irish perspective
ConclusionsDespite the myriad of challenges presented by the pandemic, service provision at the primary Irish ESC, and the referring hospitals, has proven to be robust. Procedural time metrics were maintained whilst the expected reduction in number of EVTs performed did not materialise, there actually being a significant increase in number of EVTs performed in the pandemic ’s second year.

SARS-CoV-2 infection and SLE: endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and thrombosis
We present systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) as a model rheumatic disease with endothelial dysfunction and discuss its mechanisms, factors that influence the early onset and rapid progression of atherosclerosis, and the increased risk of thromboembolic events. We focus on established methods to improve endothelium function, including statins, antiplatelet, and antithrombotic therapy. Hypercoagulable and hypofibrinolitic states and a hyperinflammatory response characterize severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Several pathogenic mechanisms are typical for an acute phase of Covid-19 post-Co...

Brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography abnormality in MRI-negative stroke-like patients post COVID-19 vaccination
Stroke-like symptoms after COVID-19 vaccination was thought to be functional if there was no anatomical image abnormality. We aimed to analyze brain perfusion changes in these patients. A case-control study of brain perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) of 12 vaccinated patients with left-sided stroke-like symptoms were compared with 12 age- and gender-matched normal interictal brain SPECTs using voxel-based analysis. Significant hyperperfusion was seen on the right side in postcentral, inferior parietal, mid temporal, parahippocampal, and caudate regions, and on the left side in the thalamus, hippoc...

Ischemic stroke and intracranial hemorrhage in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for COVID-19: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Ischemic stroke and ICH were common under the double "hit" of COVID-19 and ECMO. The prevalence of ICH was significantly higher in COVID-19 patients supported with ECMO than non-COVID-19 patients requiring ECMO. Individualized anticoagulation regimens may be a good choice to balance thrombosis and bleeding. More detailed research and further exploration are needed to clarify the underlying mechanism and clinical management decisions.PMID:36189498 | DOI:10.1177/02676591221130886
