New treatment modalities are urgently needed for patients with COVID-19. The World Health Organization (WHO) Solidarity trial showed no effect of remdesivir or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on mortality, but the antiviral effects these drugs not known.To evaluate and HCQ all-cause, in-hospital mortality; degree respiratory failure inflammation; viral clearance in oropharynx.NOR-Solidarity is an independent, add-on, randomized controlled to WHO that included biobanking 3 months clinical follow-up...
Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory infection, mounting evidence suggests that the gastrointestinal tract involved in disease, with gut barrier dysfunction and microbiota alterations being related to severity. Whether these persist are long-term remains unknown.Plasma was collected during hospital admission after 3 months from NOR-Solidarity trial (n = 181) analyzed for markers of inflammation. At 3-month follow-up, pulmonary function assessed by measuring...
To determine the incidence and characteristics of superinfections in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 patients, impact dexamethasone as standard therapy.This multicentre, observational, retrospective study included patients ≥ 18 years admitted from March 1st 2020 to January 31st 2021 with infection who received mechanical ventilation. Patient characteristics, clinical therapy survival were examined.155/156 (115 men, mean age 62 years, range 26-84 years) included. 67 (43%) had 90...
Abstract The association between pulmonary sequelae and markers of disease severity, as well pro-fibrotic mediators, were studied in 108 patients 3 months after hospital admission for COVID-19. COPD assessment test (CAT-score), spirometry, diffusion capacity the lungs (DL CO ), chest-CT performed at 23 Norwegian hospitals included NOR-SOLIDARITY trial, an open-labelled, randomised clinical investigating efficacy remdesivir hydroxychloroquine (HCQ). Thirty-eight percent had a CAT-score ≥ 10....
Abstract Background Immune dysregulation is a major factor in the development of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The homeostatic chemokines CCL19 and CCL21 have been implicated as mediators tissue inflammation, but data on their regulation acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection limited. We thus investigated levels these COVID-19 patients. Methods Serial blood samples were obtained from patients hospitalized with (n = 414). Circulating during hospitalization 3-month...
Background The Onvision needle tip tracking (NTT) is a new technology consisting of with an ultrasound sensor close to the and console for computerised signal processing. aim study was evaluate NTT during ultrasound‐guided simulated peripheral nerve block procedures in porcine phantom model. Methods Forty anaesthesiologists performed in‐plane out‐of‐plane blocks without guidance. primary outcome measure procedure time. Secondary outcomes were hand movements path length travelled by hands...
Summary Technology that facilitates performance of deep peripheral nerve blocks is clinical interest. The Onvision™ a new device for ultrasonographic needle tip tracking incorporates an ultrasound sensor on the then represented by green circle screen. primary aim this study was to investigate effect procedural time in first human volunteer study. Secondary outcome measures included: number hand movements; movement path length; block success rate; onset time; duration; discomfort experienced...
Abstract Objectives To investigate temporal changes in the association between SARS‐CoV2 viral load (VL) and markers of inflammation during hospitalization, as well ability these alone or combination to predict severe outcomes. Methods Serial oropharyngeal blood samples were obtained from hospitalized COVID‐19 patients ( n = 160). Levels inflammatory VL measured hospitalization (admission, days 3–5, 7–10) related outcomes (respiratory failure/intensive care unit admission). Results Elevated...
Background Onvision is a new technology for needle tip detection and tracking in ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia. The system consists of piezoelectric sensor close to the an electronic console integrated ultrasound system. visualized by green circle on screen. aim study was investigate effect in-plane infraclavicular plexus blocks. Methods randomized, controlled, observer blinded cross-over trial 26 healthy volunteers. Two specialists anesthesiology performed lateral sagittal brachial...
Background: There is an urgent need for new treatment modalities in COVID-19 patients. Recently, the WHO Solidarity trial showed no effects of remdesivir or hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on mortality. However, antiviral these drugs and possible relation to clinical characteristics at admission not known.Methods: NOR-Solidarity independent add-on study trial, including biobanking, a three-month follow-up. Eligible patients were adults (≥18 years) admitted hospital with laboratory-confirmed...
Abstract Objective Although COVID-19 is primarily a respiratory infection, mounting evidence suggests that the GI tract involved in disease, with gut barrier dysfunction and microbiota alterations being related to disease severity. Whether these persist could be long-term unknown. Design From NOR-Solidarity trial (n=181), plasma was collected during hospital admission after three months, analyzed for markers of inflammation. At three-month follow-up, pulmonary function assessed by measuring...
16.01.2024: Kort rapport - Ti av tretten gravide pasienter innlagt ved Rikshospitalets intensivenheter med akutt respirasjonssvikt utløst covid-19 ble intubert etter terapisvikt non-invasiv mekanisk ventilasjon.
There is an unmet need for treatment of long-term symptoms following COVID-19. Remdesivir currently the only antiviral approved by European Medicines Agency hospitalised patients. Here, we report on effect remdesivir in addition to standard care and quality life patients with COVID-19 as part open-label randomised NOR-Solidarity trial (NCT04321616). A total 185 were included main trial, which 118 (60%) either (n = 42; 36%) or a post-hoc defined control group composed who received alone...
