Safety and Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen for ARDS in Patients With COVID-19

COVID-19 may cause severe pneumonitis that require ventilatory support in some patients, the ICU mortality is as high as 62%. Hospitals do not have enough ICU beds to handle the demand and to date there is no effective cure. We explore a treatment administered in a randomized clinical trial that could prevent ICU admission and reduce mortality. The overall hypothesis to be evaluated is that HBO reduce mortality, increase hypoxia tolerance and prevent organ failure in patients with COVID19 pneumonitis by attenuating the inflammatory response.

COPE - COVID-19 in Pregnancy and Early Childhood

Purpose: The emergence of a new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 causing a novel infection in the human race resulting in a world-spanning pandemic came as a surprise and at a tremendous cost both for individual human lives as well as for the society and the health care sector. The knowledge on how this new infection affects both the mother and the unborn child as well as the outcomes for the mother and the child in the long run are unknown. What is known is based on case-reports and small case-series solely. Both the coronaviruses causing Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) can cause a threat to pregnant women and their offspring, which leads to the question whether this could be the case also for SARS-CoV-2. Aims: To establish a biobank of biological material from infected as well as non-infected pregnant women and their offspring. To combine this biobank with Swedish quality and health care registers, computerized patient charts and questionnaire data, enabling both short-term follow up, such as obstetric outcomes, as well as long-term outcomes both for mother and child. To study how the pandemic situation affects both the mother and her partner in their experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. Design: A national Swedish multicentre study. Women are included when they have a positive test for SARS-CoV-2 or a clinical suspicion of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (COVID-19 group). Pregnant women without COVID-19 symptoms will be included at their routine visits (Screening group). Blood samples and other biological material will be collected at different time-points. Additional predictors and outcomes are collected from the Swedish Pregnancy Register as well as obligatory Swedish health registers. The biobank and its linkage to health registers through the Swedish personal identification number will enable future research. Child development will be followed during the first year of life by questionnaires to the parents. Womens' and their partners' experience of childbirth and parenthood will be studied in form of questionnaires as well as in form of interviews. Conclusion: This project will help obstetricians and neonatologists better recognize clinical manifestations of the virus, identify possible risk factors during pregnancy and tailor therapies alongside providing right level of surveillance and management during pregnancy, delivery, and child health care.

SURgical Outcomes in COvid Patients - the SUROCO Multicenter Cohort Study (COVID-19)

Overall mortality of COVID-19 is variable and has been reported to be between less than 1% and 7%. Many authors around the world also reported data on hospitalization rate, need for intensive care unit (ICU) care and need for mechanical ventilation in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients. To provide anesthetic and surgical care to SARS-CoV-2 infected patients, many health workers have to organize surgical platforms, personal protections and in-hospital trajectories to prevent dissemination and cross-contamination. However, no data has been published on the surgical need of these patients, their postoperative outcomes and the impact they may have on the operating room. Postoperative outcomes in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients are completely unknown. Expected benefits that justify a surgical procedure may be different in this population as well as the effects of preoperative characteristics on postoperative outcomes. The surgical needs of these patients, their postoperative outcomes as well as the associated workload imposed to operating rooms are unknown. There is a need to better quantify these and inform needed surgical resources in a pandemic. To address this knowledge gap, the investigators propose to conduct a multicenter observational cohort study in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients undergoing a surgical procedure.

Preventing COVID-19 Complications With Low- and High-dose Anticoagulation

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic affects millions of humans worldwide and has led to thousands of acute medical hospitalizations. There is evidence that hospitalized cases often suffer from an important infection-related coagulopathy and from elevated risks of thrombosis. Anticoagulants may have positive effects here, to reduce the burden of thrombotic disease and the hyperactivity of coagulation, and may also hold beneficial anti-inflammatory effects against sepsis and the development of ARDS. The investigators hypothesize that high-dose anticoagulants, compared with low-dose anticoagulants, lower the risk of venous and arterial thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and mortality. This open-label controlled trial will randomize hospitalized adults with severe COVID-19 infection to therapeutic anticoagulation vs. thromboprophylaxis during the hospital stay.

Assessment of SARS-CoV-2 Effect on Post-traumatic Stress of Patients Hospitalized in Intensive Care Unit

Patients admitted to the intensive care unit develop psychiatric disorders, such as anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder, which can be prolonged. During the COVID crisis, the presence of relatives in the intensive care unit was reduced and this, in a lasting way. The hypothesis is that there is a difference in the experience of the stay in the intensive care unit whether or not one is affected by SARS-CoV-2 and that this difference is likely to have an impact on the long-term outcome of the patients and their relatives.

Interferon Lambda for Immediate Antiviral Therapy at Diagnosis in COVID-19

Interferon lambda is one of the main arms of the innate antiviral immune response and is critical for controlling respiratory viral infections in mice. Interferon lambda has a better side effect profile than other interferons because of the limited tissue distribution of its receptor. Peginterferon lambda is a long-acting form that has been studied extensively in human trials in viral hepatitis, confirming its safety. We propose to evaluate peginterferon-lambda in ambulatory and hospitalized patients with mild to moderate COVID-19.

Echocardiography in Critically-ill Patients With COVID-19 Pneumonia

Critical care echocardiography (CCE) has been widely used since the 10 last years. Covid outbreak leads that many patients with acute respiratory failure were admitted in the ICU. Many of these patients were ventilated and developed ARDS. Some of them developed deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Nothing is already described about the cardiac function and the hemodynamics in these patients (how many RV failure, LV systolic dysfunction,...). The echo group of the cardiodynamix section of European society of intensive care medicien (ESICM) aims to promote CCE and evaluate its interest. The objective is to retrospectively enter in an international database all the echo studies done as usual care in these patients to evaluate (i) incidence of RV failure, (ii) incidence of LV systolic function, (iii) incidence of other patterns. Another objective will be to look for any association between some patterns and respiratory strategy, blood gas analysis, systemic hemodynamics. The echo studies were done and will be reported following one of the recent systematic review published by the same group (Huang S et al. AOIC 2020).

Risk of Air Contamination During Visceral Surgery in COVID19 Patients

Sars-Cov2 has been found in the digestive tract, as well as the respiratory tract. Protection of health care workers during surgery has been increased and some guidelines advocate for abandoning laparoscopy in COVID19 patients for fear of contamination, evenghtough this does not benefit the patient. However, Sars-Cov2 contamination risk during visceral surgery remains unknown. Inadequate protection is unnecessary costful and can be inefficient if too binding. Our hypotheses are that 1) Sars-Cov 2 can travel through droplet and air during visceral surgery. 2) Laparoscopy, because of the pneumoperitoneum and its leaks, warrant more air contamination whereas laparotomy warrant more droplet contamination, which would justified increased protection.
