Background: This brief article focuses on highlighting the importance of possible neuropsychological manifestations among the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) survivors. Studies have evidenced that like other Coronaviruses, COVID-19 is highly contagious and also responsible for the development of mild to severe respiratory symptoms. As COVID-19 is a recently emerged pandemic that has resulted in more than six hundred thousand deaths around the globe as of July 2020 and most of the researches has focused on the physical manifestations. Purpose: The purpose of this review article was to highlight the importance of COVID-19 infection in perspective to mental health in those patients who are survived. Methodology: For this purpose, an intensive literature review was conducted through different scientific search engines including PubMed, Google Scholars, Science Direct, etc. Results and Conclusion: There is very limited data available on manifestations including psychological and neuropsychological. Studies have shown that viral infections including viruses from Coronaviridae have been implicated in the nervous system including the brain. So, it is important to investigate the post-COVID-19 infection in neuropsychological aspects. Such studies will highlight the importance of post-COVID-19 complications and will also help in redesigning the treatment plan for mental health.

It is with great sadness that we learn of Henk’s untimely death. Henk Haisma was a Dutch anesthesiologist of the highest order.

The last three months have been the most memorable and the most tense period in the lives of the most of us. After Taking Wuhan (China) by storm, the coronavirus crossed all of the frontiers and reached to 202 countries, including the East Asian countries, Middle East, the Americas and then the European countries. The Netherlands was effected less, with about 1000 deaths and more than 12000 confirmed patients, than its neighbors – Italy and Spain, but had its share. This manuscript presents an outline of the public perceptions, and the guidelines to manage these patients at different stages of the disease, including ventilation and intubation protocols, based upon our experience of over two months. It does not claim to be complete and exhaustive, and the readers are directed to consult their National guidelines (if any). Citation: Falières X.

过去的三个月是我们大多数人一生中最难忘、最紧张的时期。在席卷中国武汉之后，冠状病毒跨越了所有的边界，到达了202个国家，包括东亚国家、中东国家、美洲国家，然后是欧洲国家。与邻国意大利和西班牙相比，荷兰受影响较小，约有1000人死亡，确诊患者超过12000人，但也有一部分。根据我们两个多月的经验，本文概述了公众的看法，以及在疾病的不同阶段管理这些患者的指导方针，包括通气和插管方案。它并不声称是完整的和详尽的，读者可以参考他们的国家指导方针(如果有的话)。引用本文:fali res X.新冠肺炎疫情在荷兰的到来(展望)。麻醉性疼痛重症监护2020;24(1):__ DOI: https://doi.org/10.35975/apic.v24i1。收稿日期:2020年3月14日审稿日期:2020年3月18日

Background: Airway maintenance procedures during anesthesia are usually associated with a rise in intraocular pressure (IOP). This is an important issue especially in vulnerable patients. In the present study we compared the rise in IOP with two different group of airway devices i.e. Laryngeal mask airway Supreme (LMA-S) and endotracheal intubation (ETT) using C-MAC® videolaryngoscope (VLS). Methodology: The present study was conducted on 100 adult patients of ages >18 yrs, of either sex, belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) I and II, scheduled to undergo non-ophthalmic elective surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were divided into two equal groups of 50 each, Group A and Group B. In group A (n = 50), lubricated appropriate sized LMA-S was inserted and in Group B (n=50), lubricated appropriate sized ETT was inserted by an anesthesiologist using VLS. IOP was measured in right eye just before insertion of device and subsequently at 1 min, 3 min, 5 min and 10 min after insertion of device. Hemodynamic parameters were recorded along with IOP measurement. Results: Both the groups were comparable regarding demographic data (p > 0.05), ASA grade (p = 0.069), and Mallampati grade (MPG) (p = 0.646). Airway establishment time (p = 0.011) was significantly less with C-MAC VLS. IOP were comparable at all measurement times, e.g., 1 min (p = 0.216), 3 min (p = 0.093), 5 min (p = 0.859) and 10 min (p = 0.060) after insertion of each device. Hemodynamic parameters measured were also comparable between two groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Both LMA Supreme and intubation using C-MAC® videolaryngoscope are safe regarding rise in intraocular pressure. Both methods can be safely used for airway management in suitable patients.

The droplets of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can be transmitted during aerosol-generating procedures involving tracheal intubation.1 Anesthesiologists are exposed to a higher risk than other specialty healthcare workers because they manage the airway and ventilation.2 Extubation is as high a risk for aerosolization of respiratory secretions as is intubation. Additional barriers have been described for intubation like using intubation box or clear plastic drapes but limited options have been explored for extubation.3 Some experts suggest placing wet gauze over the patient’s mouth and nose just prior to extubation if the patient starts to cough, and/or covering the patient's face with a clear plastic drape.4

Background: Echocardiography (ECHO) is used to guide septic shock resuscitation, but without evidence for efficacy. Therefore, we compared the outcome of early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) and ECHO-guided management of hemodynamics in severe sepsis and septic shock. Materials and Methods: This is a single center, randomized controlled trial conducted on 100 adult patients with severe sepsis or septic shock. Patients were assessed and treated with either EGDT protocol (EGDT group) or ECHO-guided resuscitation protocol (ECHO group). Results: Only 87 patients (45 in group I and 42 in group II) were analyzed. There was a significant increase of mean norepinephrine and dobutamine doses and a significant decrease in total fluids in the first 24 hours, time to normalization, time to weaning of vasopressors, total MV days, MV free days and ICU and hospital stays in ECHO group. At 30 days, the mortality rate in EGDT group was 35.6% which was significantly higher compared to 14.3% in ECHO group. At 90 days, the overall mortality was significantly higher in EGDT group compared to Echo group (40.0% vs 16.7% respectively). Hazardous ratio of mortality was 1.630 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.123 - 2.366) and 1.653 (95% CI: 1.137 - 2.404) at 30 and 90 days respectively in EGDT group compared to ECHO group. Conclusions: In severe sepsis and septic shock, ECHO-guided management of hemodynamics resulted in a decrease in mortality, lower total fluid intake, higher vasopressor and inotrope support, earlier weaning of vasopressors and less MV days, ICU and hospital stay.

Ultrasound (US) was introduced in the 1950s and since then its use has increased exponentially. This has been facilitated by significant improvement in the probe technology, increasing access to portable machines and better understanding of lung, heart, abdominal and vascular US. Use of critical care US (CCUS) is now extremely common. It is important for frontline physicians who must make appropriate and timely decisions within seconds. It is safe, convenient and readily available in many centers. The concept of point of care ultrasound (POCUS) differs from US screening by a radiologist or sonographer. It is, rapid focused and goal-orientated. Despite its major limitation, e.g. operator dependence, bedside CCUS can be used for an ever-increasing range of indications. This narrative review will describe the potential role of CCUS as the replacement for the stethoscope in the 21st century and the limitations which must be overcome to achieve this.

The circulatory dynamics of patients are maintained by a triad of vascular capacitance, effective circulating volume and cardiac pump function. These components interact to provide blood pressure, cardiac output and tissue perfusion. Central venous pressure (CVP) is one of the parameters which is known to be useful in evaluating the interaction of these modalities. It will also help to determine volume status of the patient and need to fill in, as well as the efficacy of the volume therapy. Sometimes central line will be inserted to infuse vasoactive infusions or blood nd blood products. Its an invasive procedure and has its complications. The intensivists need to be fully conversant with the standard guidelines for this procedure for patient safety.

These components interact to provide blood pressure, cardiac output and tissue perfusion. Central venous pressure (CVP) is one of the parameters which is known to be useful in evaluating the interaction of these modalities. It will also help to determine volume status of the patient and need to fill in, as well as the efficacy of the volume therapy.
