S., Chapman, M. J., Iwashyna, T. J., & Deane, A. M. Publisher or Source: Critical Care and Resuscitation Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: Critical Care Physicians Country of Origin: Australia Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: No Description: Objective: Wearable devices using new technology may be a cost-effective method to assess functional outcomes in survivors of critical illness. Our primary objective was to review the extent to which wearable devices such as smartphones, pedometers, accelerometers and global positioning systems have been used to evaluate outcomes in survivors of an intensive care unit admission. Design: We included studies of patients surviving an ICU admission and which measured outcomes using wearable devices. We performed a scoping review of studies found by searching the CINAHL, Embase, MEDLINE and PubMed databases. Results: The seven studies we identified were published in or after 2012 and were predominantly descriptive (n = 6) with one randomised controlled trial. All studies described outcomes in cohorts of relatively few participants (range, 11-51 participants). Duration to follow-up was mostly short, at a median time of 3 months after ICU discharge (range, in-hospital to 27 years). All studies used accelerometers to monitor patient movement: physical activity (n = 5), sleep quality (n = 1), and infant movement (n = 1). The accelerometers were bi-axial (n = 3), uni-axial (n = 2) combined uni-axial (n = 1) and tri-axial (n = 1). Common outcomes evaluated were the number of participants walking for < 30 min/day, mean daily step count and walking speed. Conclusions: Wearable devices have infrequently been used to measure physical activity in survivors of critical illness and all identified studies were published recently, which suggests that the use of wearable devices for research may be increasing. To date, only accelerometry has been reported, and the wide variation in methodologies used and the outcomes measured limits synthesis of these data.

Publisher or Source: Physiotherapy theory and practice Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: General Medical Professionals Country of Origin: Turkey Primary Focus of Media: Pre-Use of PICS Designation COVID-19 Related: Yes Description: This manuscript provides support for physical therapists to focus on the long-term, as well as the short-term, consequences of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) associated with COVID-19. Since late November 2019, COVID-19 has become a global health pandemic and threat. Although most people have no or mild symptoms, COVID-19 spreads aggressively and can lead to ARDS rapidly in a proportion of individuals. The evidence supports that gas exchange and countering the negative effects of bed rest and immobility are priorities in severely affected patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). However, in recent years, research has focused on poor long-term functional outcomes in patients with ARDS, often associated with ICU-acquired weakness, deconditioning, and myopathies and neuropathies. In addition to physical therapists providing respiratory support in the ICU, the literature unequivocally supports the view that early intervention for ICU management of patients with ARDS secondary to COVID-19 needs to focus on reducing contributors to impaired long-term function, with direct attention paid to preventing or managing ICU-acquired weakness, decondition-ing, and myopathies and neuropathies, in conjunction with respiratory care.

However, this success is mitigated by the fact that 60-80 % of critically ill patients will become delirious during their hospital stay1, 50-70% will suffer cognitive impairment after discharge,2 and 60-80% will have physical disability due to ICU acquired weakness3. Furthermore, survivors of critical illness are five times more likely to develop depression4 after discharge and up to 25% will experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)5.

The first evidence linking EBV reactivation to long COVID, as well as an analysis of long COVID prevalence, is outlined in a new long COVID study published in the journal Pathogens.

The prevalence of delirium in the ICU varies from 20-80%. Delirium has been associated with increased hospital length of stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, and mortality. Sedative and narcotic use has been shown to increase the risk and severity of delirium. Haloperidol is the mainstay of delirium management as recommended by the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) due to extensive clinical experience with this medication. However, its usage is often limited by safety concerns. Atypical antipsychotics such as quetiapine have been shown to have equivalent success in the treatment of delirium while being associated with fewer side effects.
