Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in Critically Ill Patients Infected with COVID‐19: A Case Series by Zenab Yusuf Tambawala, Fatima Cherifi, Wafa Mohsen, Tazeen Makhdoom, Lama Khaled Hamza

“…Results: Despite trying all available known therapies for COVID-19 at the time they presented, such as remdesivir, favipravir, steroid, hydroxychloroquine, pegylated interferon, N-acetyl cysteine, anticoagulants, prone positioning, mechanical ventilation, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and early delivery by cesarean, these young women in the reproductive age group could not be saved. …”

Case report: Electrical impedance tomography-guided ventilator weaning in an obese patient with severe pneumonia by Yuxia Liu, Rui Liu, Bin Li, Libi Cai, Jieqi Hou, Wei Zhao

“…In addition to conventional treatment, EIT was used to guide him through postural changes and ventilation recovery. EIT-informed prone positioning improved ventilation distribution and facilitated successful ventilator weaning on day 26. …”

A 16-Year-Old Male with Thoracic Compression following Posterior Spinal Instrumentation and Fusion for Marfan-Associated Syndromic Scoliosis by Mason Uvodich, Ross Barman, Adam Reitz, Matthew Sexton

“…Ultimately, the patient’s refractory hypotension was determined to be from mechanical compression, both from prolonged intraoperative prone positioning exacerbated by pectus excavatum and from the surgically corrected spine decreasing the diameter of his thoracic cavity (as referenced by his postoperative Haller index). …”

Economic impact of prolonged tracheal extubation times on operating room time overall and for subgroups of surgeons: a historical cohort study by Franklin Dexter, Anil A. Marian, Richard H. Epstein

“…Methods The retrospective cohort study included cases performed at a university hospital October 2011 through June 2023 with general anesthesia, tracheal intubation and extubation in the OR where the anesthetic was performed, and non-prone positioning. The primary endpoint was the interval from end of surgery to OR exit. …”

Recurrent Pneumothorax in a Critically Ill Ventilated COVID-19 Patient by Lucas Rehnberg, Robert Chambers, Selina Lam, Martin Chamberlain, Ahilanandan Dushianthan

“…She had severe hypoxic respiratory failure requiring a protracted period on the mechanical ventilator with different ventilation strategies and multiple cycles of prone positioning. During her proning, after two weeks on the intensive care unit, she developed tension pneumothorax that required bilateral intercostal chest drains (ICD) to stabilise her. …”
