Predictors of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) failure in severe community-acquired pneumonia or COVID-19.

Intern Emerg Med

December 2024

Department of Respiratory Medicine and Allergology, University Hospital, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany.

The aim was to identify predictors for early identification of HFNC failure risk in patients with severe community-acquired (CAP) pneumonia or COVID-19. Data from adult critically ill patients admitted with CAP or COVID-19 and the need for ventilatory support were retrospectively analysed. HFNC failure was defined as the need for invasive ventilation or death before intubation.

Objectives: The COVID-19 epidemic introduced significant systems- and disease-based uncertainty into Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) rupture management. The goal of this work was to evaluate whether short-term AAA rupture outcomes during COVID-19 were comparable to pre-COVID era outcomes and to explore the impact of COVID status and COVID era healthcare systems restrictions on AAA rupture outcomes.

Methods: The Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI) database was queried for all ruptured AAAs that underwent intervention from January 1, 2019 to August 31, 2022.

Lung Transplant Success in COVID-19 Patients Requiring V-V ECMO: One-Year Follow-Up.

Ann Transplant

December 2024

Division of Pulmonary Medicine, Critical Care, Sleep Medicine, and Physiology, Department of Medicine, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA, USA.

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) due to coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) can result in severe disease requiring mechanical ventilatory support. A subset of these patients, however, demonstrate refractory hypoxemia/hypercarbia requiring veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO) as adjunctive therapy. The primary goal of V-V ECMO is a "bridge" to recovery of native lung function; however, patients may progress to irreversible pulmonary damage requiring lung transplantation.

Predictors of Functional Impairment in Severe COVID-19 Patients Two Months After Discharge.

Ther Adv Pulm Crit Care Med

December 2024

Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Hôtel-Dieu de France University, Medical Center (HDFUMC) of the Saint-Joseph University of Beirut (USJ), Beirut, Lebanon.

Background: The Post-COVID-19 Functional Status (PCFS) scale is a validated tool used to measure the functional status of patients discharged from the hospital.

Objectives: To describe the functional limitations of hospitalized COVID-19 patients at the time of discharge and two months afterward, and to identify risk factors associated with functional impairment.

Design: Retrospective study.

The use of veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) has become increasingly prevalent, particularly in respiratory disease pandemics such as H1N1-influenza and SARS-CoV-2. This surge has emphasized the importance of clear therapy recommendations, improved accessibility to ECMO technology, established ECMO teams, and structured networks to ensure access to specialized care throughout the course of the disease for patients with severe ARDS. Although the initiation criteria for VV-ECMO are well defined, treatment strategies while on ECMO regarding e.
