Incidence of Thromboembolism in COVID-19 Patients in Intensive Care Units: A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

Introduction: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection was declared a pandemic, causing high mortality and morbidity worldwide. It predisposes patients to both arterial and venous thromboembolism, which causes high mortality, and is one of the most serious complications of the disease.

Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to determine the frequency of thromboembolic events in patients diagnosed with COVID-19 in the intensive care unit (ICU) and to identify the factors causing thromboembolism.

Evaluation of the Effect of Pressure-Controlled Ventilation-Volume Guaranteed Mode vs. Volume-Controlled Ventilation Mode on Atelectasis in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

: Laparoscopic surgery, which results in less bleeding, less postoperative pain, and better cosmetic results, may affect the lung dynamics via the pneumoperitoneum. After laparoscopic surgery, atelectasis develops. The primary aim of the present study is to demonstrate the effects of two different ventilation modes on the development of atelectasis using lung ultrasound, and the secondary outcomes include the plateau pressure, peak inspiratory pressure, and compliance differences between the groups.

Characteristics and outcomes of 974 COVID-19 patients in intensive care units in Turkey.

Background: In our previous report on Turkish COVID-19 patients requiring intensive care, the 24 patients in a single ICU were elderly and mortality was high. We extended our analysis to include patients admitted to ten ICUs.

Objectives: Report the demographics, clinical features, imaging findings, comorbidities, and outcomes in COVID-19 patients.
