By May, we had already seen a 20% rise in cases of mental health according to the Indian Psychiatric Society. The mental health concerns due to the pandemic may not just be immediate, but can also cause long term effects lasting for a minimum of 1-3 years.

Two approaches are commonly used: the retroperitoneal (RP) approach and the transperitoneal (TP) approach. Both approaches appear to have advantages and disadvantages. Many trials comparing RP and TP aortic surgery have been published with conflicting results. The aim of this Cochrane review is to assess the effectiveness and safety of the TP versus RP approach for planned surgical open AAA repair on mortality, complications, hospital stay and blood loss. Key results We included four small randomized controlled trials (RCTs) (129 participants) after we searched the literature up to May 2015). There were no differences between RP and TP for death. Our analysis seems to show a trend that RP might increase the complications such as hematoma (swelling of clotted blood), chronic wound pain and abdominal wall hernia compared with TP but there were variations between the included trials. We found that RP led to lower blood loss, and shorter hospital stay and ICU stay compared with TP but there were no differences between the two approaches for operating time and aortic cross‐clamp time (length of time a surgical instrument, used to clamp the aorta and separate the circulation from the outflow of the heart, is used). Quality of the evidence Three of the four included trials had methodological weaknesses, such as unclear randomisation methods, and no reporting of blinding of the people assessing the outcome which compromised the value of their results. In addition, the included trials only included a small number of people, there were few outcomes reported, there was a relatively short follow‐up and there were inconsistencies between the included trials resulting in very low to low quality of the evidence. More large‐scale RCTs of the RP approach versus the TP approach for planned surgical open AAA repair are needed.

Ho , Matthew Knuiman, Judith Finn,Steven A. Webb Publisher or Source: PLOS Type of Media: Medical Journal Media Originally for: General Public Country of Origin: United States Primary Focus of Media: Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS) COVID-19 Related: No Description: Demand for intensive care unit (ICU) services is increasing [1], and at a rate that is higher than the average for all health care services [2]. Increase in treatment and monitoring technology, patients' expectations, and ageing population all contribute to this increased demand for intensive care services [1]. Indeed, intensive care is increasingly being provided to older and sicker patients, whom in the past were not treated in intensive care [3]. Intensive care services accounted for 10% of the US$2.1 trillion total health expenditures on health care in the United States in 2006 [4] and has been estimated to cost more than £700 million in the United Kingdom in 1999 [5]. The cost of intensive care services coupled with increasing demand provides the rationale for improved modelling of outcomes of critically ill patients.
