Recent studies have reported that CRP levels are elevated in patients with COVID-19 and may correlate severity of disease progression. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis the medical records 268 adult patients, who were admitted to one six cohorted COVID ICUs across Emory Healthcare System had at least two values within first seven days admission study temporal progression its association all-cause in-hospital mortality. The median during hospitalization for entire was 130 mg/L (IQR...
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has threatened millions of lives worldwide with severe systemic inflammation, organ dysfunction, and thromboembolic disease. Within our institution, many critically ill COVID-19-positive patients suffered major thrombotic events, prompting clinicians to evaluate hypercoagulability outside traditional coagulation testing.We determined the prevalence fibrinolysis shutdown via rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM, Instrumentation Laboratories,...
Venovenous (VV) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) supports end-organ oxygen delivery in patients with refractory respiratory failure. Physical therapy (PT) while on ECMO provides conceptual benefits of strength and conditioning. can additionally be used to facilitate improvements functional status pulmonary reserve VV is bridge lung transplant or recovery. We report the case a patient initially supported that due course complicated by hypoxia, cardiac arrest, cardiogenic shock, was...
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with increased incidence of venous thromboembolic events (VTE) as well mortality. D-dimer is a marker fibrinolysis and used diagnostic prognostic in VTE among other diseases. The purpose our study to describe outcomes from out center examine trends levels it relates mortality.Patients admitted confirmed COVID-19 cases Emory Healthcare March 12, 2020 through April 6, measured plasma were included retrospective analysis. Relevant data...
Refractory hypoxemia during veno-venous (V-V) extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may require an additional cannula (VV-V ECMO) to improve oxygenation. This intervention includes risk of recirculation and other various adverse events (AEs) such as injury the lung, malpositioning, bleeding, circuit or thrombosis requiring (i.e., clot), cerebral injury. During study period, 23 142 V-V ECMO patients were converted VV-V utilizing two separate cannulas for bi-caval drainage with upper...
To test if the 5-item compassion measure (a tool previously validated in outpatient setting to patient assessment of clinician compassion) is a valid and reliable quantify distinct construct (i.e. clinical among patients evaluated emergency department (ED).Cross-sectional study conducted three academic departments U.S. between November 2018 April 2019. We enrolled adult who were EDs participating institutions administered after completion care ED. Validity testing was performed using...
Amniotic fluid embolism is a rare obstetric emergency that can be accompanied by profound hypoxemia, coagulopathy, hemorrhage, and cardiogenic shock. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation may provide rescue strategy in amniotic with cardiopulmonary collapse. Approaches to anticoagulation must balanced against the risk of hemorrhage concomitant coagulopathy. Although extracorporeal has been described for collapse setting embolism, its initiation as bridge hemostasis recovery embolism-induced...
Little is known about what motivates people to enroll in research registries. The purpose of this study identify facilitators registry enrollment among diverse older adults.Participants completed an 18-item Research Interest Assessment Tool. We used logistic regression analyses examine responses across participants and by race gender.Participants (N=374) were 58% black, 76% women, with a mean age 68.2 years. All motivated maintain their memory while aging. Facilitators enrolled varied both...
Amidst the pandemic, geographical boundaries presented challenges to those in need of higher levels care from referral centers. Authors sought evaluate potential predictors treatment success; assess our transport and remote cannulation process; identify associated complications.Retrospective series critically ill adults with COVID-19 transferred by Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) team 24 March 2020 through 8 June 2021. Descriptive statistics interquartile ranges (IQR) were used...
Physical therapy (PT) utilization in patients requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been reported; however, little is known about intensive rehabilitation associated outcomes extended complex MCS and/or ECMO support. Authors sought to explore safety, feasibility with active prolonged advanced MCS/ECMO Single-center retrospective series evaluated functional, clinical, longitudinal of sample eight critically ill, adult (≥18 years age)...
Negative pressure pulmonary edema (NPPE) may result in respiratory failure refractory to conventional management strategies. Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV ECMO) can serve as a rescue therapy cases of severe failure. Rapid initiation VV ECMO decrease morbidity and mortality while facilitating early liberation from mechanical ventilation promoting rehabilitation. We describe the successful utilization for NPPE-induced hypoxic peri-arrest state postanesthesia care unit...
Introduction Pump thrombosis remains a feared complication following placement of durable left ventricular assist devices (LVAD) and can be particularly detrimental to individuals being bridged heart transplantation. Complications associated with this malfunction not only increase morbidity related right failure, hemolysis, other organ but may ultimately jeopardize patient’s transplant candidacy. Additionally, reoperation for device replacement poses additional surgical risks patients...
