Its pathophysiology, manifestations, complications, and management are not completely defined, yet. In this study frequency of alveolar air leak in critically ill COVID-19 subjects is explored. Methods A total of 820 critically ill COVID-19 subjects who admitted with respiratory insufficiency to ICUs of Sina University Hospital from March 2020 to June 2021 were included. All their chest x ray (CXR) and Computed tomography (CT) of chest were reviewed. All alveolar air leak episodes (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum, pneumopericardium, subcutaneous emphysema) suspected films reviewed by attending intensivist and radiologist. Results Of the 820 ill COVID-19 subjects in ICUs, 492(60%) were male, and 328 (40%) were female. The Mean age of 820 subjects was 60.84 + 16.82. 584 (71.22%) of subjects were non-intubated, and 236 (28.78%) were intubated. Alveolar air leak occurred in 98 (11.95%) of subjects. Alveolar air leak episodes include pneumothorax in 26 (3.17%), subcutaneous emphysema in 72 (8.78%), pneumomediastinum in 9 (1.10%), and pneumopericardium in 1 (0.12%) of subjects. The mean age in non-intubated subjects was 59.65 + 16.84, and for intubated subjects was 63 + 16.42. There was a significant difference in age between the groups who get intubated, versus not intubated P 0.001. Of the 584 non-intubated subjects, 31 (5.31%) had subcutaneous emphysema, of the 236 intubated subjects, 41 (17.37%) had subcutaneous emphysema. Difference between groups was statistically significant, P <0.001. When we compared intubated and non-intubated patients in case of total numbers of alveolar air leak episodes, the difference was statistically significant P <0.001. Conclusion According to this study, intubation was implemented more in older patients. Also, invasive ventilation was significantly associated with subcutaneous emphysema and total number of alveolar air leak episodes. In every patient with exaggeration of hypoxia, dyspnea or chest pain, pneumothorax should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis.

These devices are electromechanical and as such can fail. Most failures are without patient incident, injury, and harm. The FDA requires manufacturers who learn of malfunction, injury or death while operating their product to report to the agency via the Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience database. I reviewed 500 recent events reported to the FDA and found an increasing trend from 2020 to 2021 in hospital ventilator malfunction reports. Examination of these reports is critical to assuring quality ventilator care.

Majority of these studies concluded that corticosteroids are beneficial for hospitalized severely ill COVID-19 patients requiring supplemental oxygen. To date, therapeutic guidelines for COVID-19 patients recommend dexamethasone or other alternative corticosteroids, including methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, or prednisone, as a treatment choice for severely ill COVID-19 patients.

However, there are no published guidelines on settings and adjusting the target MV in different disease states during ASV ventilation. INTELLiVENT-ASV, is the new generation modified algorithm of ASV, has made this issue much easier and simpler as the operator inputs a desired range of the end tidal exhaled carbon dioxide, and oxygen saturation and the algorithm will adjust the minute ventilation percentage as well as PEEP and FiO2 automatically to stay within that range.

A ventilator assists breathing using either pressure control or volume control based on the equation of motion for the respiratory system. 4.

With this increase, there have been paucity of evidence of which mode is superior to others or much guidance to use a mode in different disease status causing respiratory failure. Methods: An international survey of six questions was posted on the “society of mechanical ventilation” website and advertised on social media over the period of four months. This is a descriptive study, results are presented in two different ways. First as the total modes used and secondly, per the geographical areas as the preferred mode, mode used mostly in ARDS, COPD, and Spontaneous weaning trials. Results: Conventional older modes, Volume-controlled and Pressure-controlled ventilation were used significantly more in general and in different disease states irrespective of geographical location. Four other modes were used almost equally in all disease states irrespective of geographical location. Pressure support ventilation was the most common mode used during the spontaneous breathing trial. Conclusion: There was large heterogenicity of modes used between clinicians in general, in different disease states and in between different international geographical locations.
