The high rate of deep venous thrombosis observed in these patients suggests that the risk of venous thromboembolic disorders after severe COVID-19 illness is considerable and surveillance measures of such patients should be undertaken.
In this pilot study, patients with cancer were readily enrolled in a remote home monitoring program. Monitoring was feasible, and there was a high rate of engagement with the program.
Is it over? Will the vaccines protect us? Can we visit friends and family? Can we visit our aging parents and grandparents or take that trip to Greece? Or Brazil? Is it safe to take a cruise to Antarctica to see the solar eclipse on December 4, 2021?
In coronavirus disease 2019 patients on mechanical ventilation, an early modified percutaneous dilational tracheostomy was safe for patients and healthcare providers and associated with improved clinical outcomes.
The authors report rates of failed tracheal intubation and emergency surgical airway in patients with COVID-19 requiring emergency airway management, and identified factors associated with increased success. Risks of tracheal intubation failure and success should be considered when managing COVID-19.
The hemostatic balance in patients with COVID-19 seems to be shifted toward a hypercoagulable state. The aim of the current study was to assess the associated coagulation alterations by point-of-care diagnostics, focusing on details of clot formation and lysis in these severely affected patients.
