Division of Neuroscience Critical Care, Departments of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • A study was conducted to compare stroke incidences and mortality rates in critically ill COVID-19 patients from low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and high-income countries (HICs).
  • The results showed that stroke incidence was significantly higher in LMICs (35.7 per 1000 admitted-days) compared to HICs (17.6 per 1000 admitted-days), with patients from LMICs also facing higher mortality rates (43.6% vs. 29.2%).
  • The findings highlight the need for better stroke diagnosis and healthcare resource allocation in LMICs, as both higher income status and the presence of stroke are associated with increased risk of death

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on the effects of two different anesthesia schemes during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) on postoperative outcomes in 60 patients.
  • Patients were divided into a low-opioid anesthesia group (30) and a standard anesthesia group (30), with blood interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels measured before and after surgery.
  • Results showed that the low-opioid group had significantly lower IL-6 levels, shorter mechanical ventilation time, reduced occurrence of low cardiac output syndrome, and shorter ICU stays compared to the standard group.
