The investigators intend to study the role of early use of methylprednisolone in the hospitalized patients with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.
This is a compassionate use, proof of concept, phase IIb, prospective, interventional, pilot study in which the investigators will evaluate the effects of compassionate-use treatment with IV tirofiban 25 mcg/kg, associated with acetylsalicylic acid IV, clopidogrel PO and fondaparinux 2.5 mg s/c, in patients affected by severe respiratory failure in Covid-19 associated pneumonia who underwent treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP).
COVID-19 originated from Severe Acut Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection leads to critical condition due to hypoxemic respiratory failure with the background of viral pneumonia. Both alevolar recruitment and the subsequent optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) adjustment has a pivotal role in the elimination of atelectasis developed by inflammation in the lung parenchyma The gold standard of the follow up of recruitment manoeuvre is the chest computed tomography (CT) examination. However, reduction of intrahospital transport and the exposure with healthcare workers are recommended because of the extremely virulent pathogen spreading easily by droplet infection. In this case bedside investigations have an utmost importance in the management of hygiene regulations. Electric impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive, radiation free functional imaging technique easily applicable at the bedside.
Observational pilot single-center study aiming to determine the microbiota of critically ill patients infected with SARS-CoV-2. COVID-19 patients will be compared to historical critically ill controls with no SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Study of the effectiveness and safety of the drug Mefloquine, tablets 250 mg, produced by FSUE "SPC" Farmzaschita " FMBA of Russia (Russia), in comparison with the drug Hydroxychloroquine, tablets 200 mg, for the treatment of patients with coronavirus infection, in the "off-label" mode, to make a decision on the possibility of expanding the indications for use.
Clinical thoracic ultrasound plays an important role in the exploration, diagnosis and follow-up of thoracic pathologies. The COVID (Coronavirus Disease) epidemic is leading to a large influx of patients in the emergency department with respiratory disorders. The rapid diagnosis of respiratory disorders in infected patients is important for further management. Chest ultrasound has already demonstrated its value in the diagnosis of pneumonia in the emergency department with superiority over chest X-ray. However, there is little data on the thoracic ultrasound semiology of viral pneumonia in general and of COVID in particular.
Since December 2019, a new agent, the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus has been rapidly spreading from China to other countries causing an international outbreak of respiratory illnesses named COVID-19. In France, the first cases have been reported at the end of January with more than 60000 cases reported since then. A significant proportion (20-30%) of hospitalized COVID-19 patients will be admitted to intensive care unit. However, few data are available for this special population in France. We conduct a large observational cohort of ICU suspected or proven COVID-19 patients that will enable to describe the initial management of COVID 19 patients admitted to ICU and to identify factors correlated to clinical outcome.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit. A Multicenter Observational Study.
Rationale: The clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children are poorly characterized. Preliminary findings indicate that they may be atypical. There is a need to identify the spectrum of clinical presentations, predictors of severe disease (COVID-19) outcomes, and successful treatment strategies in this population. Goals: Primary - Describe and compare characteristics of confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected children with symptomatic test-negative children. Secondary - 1) Describe and compare confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infected children with mild versus severe COVID-19 outcomes; 2) Describe healthcare resource utilization for, and outcomes of, screening and care of pediatric COVID-19 internationally, alongside regional public health policy changes. Methods: This prospective observational study will occur in 50 emergency departments across 11 countries. We will enroll 12,500 children who meet institutional screening guidelines and undergo SARS-CoV-2 testing. Data collection focuses on epidemiological risk factors, demographics, signs, symptoms, interventions, laboratory testing, imaging, and outcomes. Collection will occur at enrollment, 14 days, and 90 days. Timeline: Recruitment will last for 12 months (worst-case model) and will begin within 7-14 days of funding notification after ongoing expedited review of ethics and data sharing agreements. Impact: Results will be shared in real-time with key policymakers, enabling rapid evidence-based adaptations to pediatric case screening and management.
