Background: During coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (h-CPAP) has been widely used to treat Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure (AHRF). In COVID-19 patients undergoing h-CPAP a simple short peripheral catheter could be insufficient. According the European Recommendations for Proper Indication and Use of Peripheral venous access consensus, stable Vascular Access Device is indicated intravenous treatment compatible with route scheduled...
ABSTRACT Background Acute Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure is a common complication of SARS-CoV2 related pneumonia, for which non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with Helmet Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) widely used. The frequency pneumothorax in was reported 0.95% hospitalized patients 6% mechanically ventilated patients, and 1% post-mortem case series. Objectives Aim our retrospective study to investigate the incidence pneumomediastinum (PNX/PNM) pneumonia treated CPAP. Moreover, we...

Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) through MicroBubbles Time (MBT) (time from infusion of saline with addition micro-bubbles air to visualization first bubbles in right atrium (RA), visualized by subxiphoid or apical echocardiography) is an alternative Intracavitary ECG and chest X-ray evaluation tip location central venous catheters.To evaluate feasibility variability CEUS peripheral catheters (Midline-MC) a cohort patients subgroup where was also performed X-ray. Secondary outcomes were...
The CA.ME.LI.A (CArdiovascular risks, MEtabolic syndrome, LIver and Autoimmune disease) epidemiological study was conducted in Abbiategrasso (Milan, Italy) to identify risk factors for metabolic cardiovascular disease an apparently healthy population of northern Italy. (
Background: MicroBubbles Time test (MBT), consisting in the rapid infusion of saline with addition air microbubbles, visualized by B-mode echocardiography, represents a potential alternative to Intracavitary ECG (IC-ECG) and chest X-ray for central venous catheters (CVCs) tip location. Even if promising, this technique lacks standardization: clear time cut-off between bubble their detection heart’s right chambers hasn’t been yet established. At these regard, microbubbles could be also...
Abstract It is estimated that almost one-third of patients with COVID-19 develop delirium in the course disease, actually it may be only presenting symptom, especially dementia patients. In associated higher mortality rate, increased length stay and a greater rate admission Intensive Care Unit ventilator utilisation. We hypothesized Helmet CPAP ventilated because many known risk factors for co-exist these kind (i.e. isolation, noise, dehydration). The first aim our study to investigate...
