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...
Perioperative stroke is a potentially catastrophic complication of surgery. Patients undergoing vascular surgery suffer from systemic atherosclerosis and are expected to be at increased risk for this complication. We studied the incidence, predictors, outcomes perioperative after noncarotid major using American College Surgeons National Quality Improvement Program database.Forty-seven thousand seven hundred fifty patients 2005 2009 nonVeterans Administration hospitals were identified...
Numerous risk factors have been identified for perioperative stroke, but there are conflicting data regarding the role of β adrenergic receptor blockade in general and metoprolol particular.The authors retrospectively screened 57,218 consecutive patients radiologic evidence stroke within 30 days after noncardiac procedures at a tertiary care university hospital. Incidence surgery associated were assessed. Patients taking either or atenolol matched based on number stroke. Parsimonious...
Background There is limited data on the markers of coagulation and hemostatic activation (MOCHA) profile in Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) its ability to identify COVID-19 patients at risk for thrombotic events other complications. Methods Hospitalized with confirmed SARS-COV-2 from four Atlanta hospitals were included this observational cohort study underwent admission testing MOCHA parameters (plasma d-dimer, prothrombin fragment 1.2, thrombin-antithrombin complex, fibrin monomer)....
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...
As evidence-based guidance to aid clinicians with mechanical ventilation mode selection is scant, we sought characterize the epidemiology thereof within a university healthcare system and hypothesized that nonconforming approaches could be readily identified. We conducted an exploratory retrospective observational database study of routinely recorded parameters between January 1, 2010 December 31, 2016 from 12 intensive care units. Mode epoch count proportions were examined using Chi squared...
Studies of COVID-19 have shown that African Americans been affected by the virus at a higher rate compared to other races. This cohort study investigated comorbidities and clinical outcomes race among patients admitted intensive care unit.

Maintaining adequate cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) is of clinical concern in patients with neurological injury. Although there are extensive data on CPP the ICU setting, has been little quantitative study intraoperative setting.We retrospectively analyzed electronic records neurosurgical and trauma concurrent intracranial arterial monitoring devices continuous use for ≥45 minutes to calculate (=mean pressure-intracranial pressure). We assessed total frequency 5-minute epochs, during...
A 17-yr-old female presented with increasing dyspnea 10 months after a right pneumonectomy. Chest radiograph (fig. A) revealed rightward shift of the heart and mediastinum left lung hyperexpansion tracheal deviation, consistent postpneumonectomy syndrome. She underwent thoracotomy mediastinal repositioning by insertion saline-filled prostheses into hemithorax (arrows, fig. B).Postpneumonectomy syndrome is rare, life-threatening complication caused extreme rotation Compression distal trachea...
Perioperative opioids are problematic following craniotomy as they can impede neurological examination because of excessive sedation and mask surgical complications. Multimodal anesthetic techniques including nerve blocks have been used successfully to deliver opioid-free anesthesia in other populations; however, no clinical data evaluating for exists within the current body literature.Six prospectively identified patients underwent supratentorial at Emory University Hospital using a...
