Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Insomnia amongst COVID Warriors across Several Hospitals after Second Wave: Have We Acclimatized? A Cross-sectional Survey.

Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has been a cause of significant mental health disturbances in medical health personnel. However, 18 months into the pandemic, healthcare workers (HCWs) have become accustomed to the heightened stress and anxiety that comes with caring for COVID patients. Through this study, we aim to measure depression, anxiety, stress, and insomnia in doctors with the help of validated scales.

Factors predicting difficult spinal block: A single centre study.

Background And Aims: Several factors determine the success of dural puncture. We aimed to assess the association of first puncture success and number of attempts with characteristics of the patient, provider, technique and equipment.

Material And Methods: This prospective, observational study was performed in 1647 adult patients undergoing surgery under spinal anesthesia.

A Prospective Study of Specialized Coagulation Parameters in Admitted COVID-19 Patients and Their Correlation With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Outcome.

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a frequent complication of COVID-19 and is associated with a component of thrombo-inflammation and cytokine storm. COVID-19 also affects the hemostatic system causing multiple coagulation abnormalities that is a cause of concern and needs to be addressed.  Objective We aimed to assess coagulation parameters of COVID-19 patients and identify whether they could be used as potential prognostic biomarkers to predict ARDS and immediate outcomes.

Neurological Manifestations of COVID-19: A Series of Seven Cases.

Unlabelled: Identification of neurological manifestations associated with SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2) in patients with no or mild pulmonary infection proves to be a challenge. The incidence of neurological associations of COVID-19 may be small as compared with respiratory disease; however, in the present scenario with an increasing number of cases each day, the overall incidence of patients with neurological manifestations and their health-related socioeconomic impact might be large. Hence it is important to report such cases so that healthcare providers and concerned authorities are aware of and may prepare for the growing burden.
