Abstract Omicron is currently the dominant variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the coronavirus responsible for the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Omicron is associated with mild symptoms, although it can cause harmful effects in high-risk patient populations. Omicron and COVID-19 affect multiple organ systems, including the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, ophthalmic system, genitourinary tract, and musculoskeletal system. COVID-19 infects additional organ systems, including the hematological system, hepatobiliary system, renal system, and dermatologic system. The viral-induced complications were compared to discuss the effects of Omicron versus the authentic SARS-CoV-2 virus, revealing less detrimental outcomes for Omicron. Moreover, COVID-19 is more likely to infect older adults, males, and obesity with mild to severe symptoms. Omicron causes mild symptoms in younger populations and overweight females. Data were acquired using PubMed, Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, and the World Health Organization. COVID-19 and Omicron mechanisms causing organ system-related complications are likely because of the natural immune response to the active infection, the uncontrollable release of cytokines causing cytokine release syndrome, and direct viral damage through angiotensin-converting enzyme 2/transmembrane serine protease 2 receptor binding and entrance to the host cell for infection.

Abstract Background We analyzed the success and catheter tip malposition rates of peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement using ultrasonic monitoring. Methods A total of 564 patients were recruited and assigned to either the intervention or control group. In the intervention group, 282 patients underwent ultrasound-guided PICC insertion, which helped to identify the position and depth of the catheter tip. From a total of 9000 patients, 282 were selectively chosen to receive the traditional method using body surface measurements (control group). The primary endpoint was the success rate; the secondary endpoint was the catheter tip malposition rate as detected by postprocedure chest radiography. Results In the intervention group, a total of 94 catheters were in a suboptimal position; 26 were too deep, 68 were too shallow, and 1 was inserted into the subclavian vein, with success and malposition rates of 66.3% and 0.4%, respectively. In the control group, 139 catheters were in a suboptimal position; 88 were too deep, 51 were too shallow, 9 were inserted into the jugular vein, and 2 were inserted into the subclavian vein, with success and malposition rates of 46.8% (P < 0.001) and 3.9% (P = 0.004), respectively. Significant differences were observed in success and malposition rates between the 2 groups. Conclusion Ultrasound-guided PICC procedures achieved higher success rates and lower malposition rates.

Abstract Background The subclavian vein (SCV) is an alternative to the internal jugular vein when it is difficult to locate, such as in patients with hypovolemia or obesity. Ultrasonography (USG) guidance for SVC cannulation has evolved, resulting in fewer complications and higher first-pass success rates. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of SCV cannulation with USG- and landmark-guided techniques. Methods In this prospective randomized interventional controlled study, 80 patients admitted to the intensive care unit between July 2022 and October 2022 were randomly assigned to the landmark method group (LM group) and USG group. In the LM group, SCV cannulation was performed using the traditional landmark technique, whereas in the USG group, it was performed using USG guidance. The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the ease of subclavian central venous cannulation in critically ill patients using the 2 techniques. The secondary objectives were to compare the success rate of cannulation between these 2 techniques, evaluate the number of attempts, assess cannulation failure, and assess mechanical complications. Results The first-pass success rates were 70% and 92.5% in the LM and USG groups, respectively (P < 0.001). The average numbers of attempts in the LM and USG groups were 1.275 (±0.520) and 1.075 (±0.266), respectively (P = 0.034). The average procedure durations were 7.45 (±1.10) and 8 (±0.933) minutes in the LM and USG groups (P = 0.018), respectively. The rates of complications in both groups were not statistically significant. Conclusion The USG guidance for SCV cannulation has an advantage over landmark-guided methods in a critical care setting. The SCV is a good alternative to internal jugular vein cannulation. The average time to cannulation was longer in the USG group than in the LM group, which can decrease with the frequent use of USG and increasing operator experience. Clinical trials This study was registered in the Clinical Trials Registry-India (CTRI Trial No. CTRI/2022/07/043694, dated May 7, 2022).
