Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19)-era resuscitation guidelines advised personal protective equipment before chest compressions and proactive advanced care planning. We investigated the impact of COVID-19 on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) outcomes according to scoring of frailty and of multiple health conditions. A retrospective single-centre analysis of clinical and electronic records for all adult cardiac arrest calls on wards between June 2020 and June 2021 was performed. ⋯ There were linear relationships between Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) or Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and diminished survival in the pooled data (both p<0.001). Both increasing frailty (measured by CFS) and comorbidity (measured by CCI) were associated with reduced survival from CPR. However, survival and ROSC during COVID-19 were no worse than before the pandemic.

Effects of permanent placental injury due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on the feto-placental circulation: a cross-sectional study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of permanent placental injury due to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on feto-placental circulation. ⋯ Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy causes an increase in perivillous fibrin deposition and villus dystrophic calcification in the placenta. Placental injury caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus does not affect fetal Doppler parameters.
