Multicenter Study Observational StudyCardiac dysfunction and mortality in critically ill patients with COVID-19 - a Swedish multicentre observational study.
The prevalence and importance of cardiac dysfunction in critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Sweden is not yet established. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of cardiac dysfunction and elevated pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), and its influence on mortality in patients with COVID-19 in intensive care in Sweden. ⋯ Cardiac dysfunction occurs commonly in critically ill patients with COVID-19 in Sweden. RV dysfunction and elevated PAP are associated with an increased risk of death.

Online Exhaled Propofol Monitoring in Normal-weight and Obese Surgical Patients.
Ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) allows for online quantification of exhaled propofol concentrations. We aimed to validate a bedside online IMS device, the Edmon® , for predicting plasma concentrations of propofol in normal-weight and obese patients. ⋯ Online monitoring of exhaled propofol concentrations is clinically feasible in normal-weight and obese patients. With a 5-min delay, our model outperforms the Marsh plasma TCI model in a post hoc analysis. Modest correlation with plasma concentrations makes the clinical usefulness questionable.
