Extra Vascular Lung Water and Pulmonary Permeability in Critically Ill Patients With SARS-CoV-2...
COVID-19Pneumonia1 moreAcute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a syndromic definition of an acute lung injury with alteration of biomechanics (lower respiratory system compliance) mostly associated with increased lesional edema. Increase in Pulmonary Vascular Permeability Index (PVPI) accompanied with accumulation of excess Extravascular Lung Water (EVLW) is the hallmark of ARDS. In routine clinical practice, the investigators measure the EVLW and PVPI in ARDS patients, as suggested by expert's recommendations, using a transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) technique. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a newly recognized illness that has spread rapidly throughout Wuhan (Hubei province) to other provinces in China and around the world. Most critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 will present the criteria for the definition of ARDS. However, many of these patients have a particular form of ARDS with severe hypoxemia often associated with near normal respiratory system compliance. This combination is almost never seen in severe ARDS. Thus other mechanisms (including probably vascular mechanisms), that are still poorly described, have to be involved in SARS-CoV-2. EVLW and PVPI have never been assessed in SARS-CoV-2 mechanically ventilated patients. The aim of this study is to evaluate these two parameters in order to best characterize and understand the mechanisms related to SARS-CoV-2. Based on observation of several cases in intensive care units (ICU), the investigators hypothesize that there are following different SARS-CoV-2 patterns: Nearly normal compliance, low lung recruitability, normal EVLW and low PVPI. Low compliance due to increased edema, high lung recruitability, high EVLW and high PVPI.
Consequences of Intensified Handwash and Hand Disinfection Among Children During the COVID19 Pandemic...
Hand EczemaHand Dermatitis1 moreDuring the COVID-19 pandemic after reopening of the country, school, kindergarten and daycare, children have been obligated to do frequent handwash. The study group wished to investigate whether this has had implications on symptoms of dry, red, itchy or sore hands and hand eczema. The investigation was performed within the first and second week after reopening by questionnaires distributed to parents electronically via schools, kindergartens and daycare facilities electronic platforms.
Implications of Covid-19 on the Lifestyle Changes
COVID-19Northern Italy has been profoundly touched by the Covid-19 pandemic. To limit the outbreaks of contagion, the Italian government imposed 2.months of complete lock-down, which imposed the social isolation for the whole population and, for those positive to the Covid-19, the complete confinement at home. Despite the recommendations for conserving healthy lifestyle of the Italian Government, during the lock-down the likelihood to fall into unhealthy behaviours might have increased. This study aims to describe the impact of Covid-19 on the lifestyles of a population of Italian adults living in an area of high spread of Sars-CoV-2.
Prognosis in Pregnant With COVID-19
COVID-19Prognostic Factors1 moreCOVID-19 is a disease whose development, prognosis mechanism and immune status are still unknown. The aim of the study is to determine the relationship between clinical and laboratory data and the severity of the disease by evaluating the hematological and radiological features of the patients. The secondary aim is to determine the predictive values of clinical and laboratory data for the severity of COVID-19.
Different Susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 Infection Among Health Care Workers Highly Exposed to COVID-19....
Health Care Worker Patient TransmissionReceptor Site Alteration3 moreThe primary objective of this study is to establish differences in susceptibility to SARS CoV-2 infection among health care workers (HCW) highly exposed to patients with COVID-19 diagnosis. To ascertain this issue, we evaluated: Changes in receptor polymorphism (ACE2 and CD26 receptor study. SARS-CoV-2 CD4/CD8 T cell response (CTL) Different KIR phenotypes
Endovascular Thrombectomy in COVID-19 Infected Patients
Ischemic StrokeCovid 19About 5% of COVID-19 patients may present symptoms related to acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Treatment-management and outcomes related to mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for COVID-19 infected patients harboring large vessel occlusion is largely unknown. This multicentric study aims to investigate morbidity, mortality and neurological outcomes after MT performed in patients with COVID-19 infection.
Epidemiological Study of the Covid-19 Presto Test - The "COVIDOR" Study
Coronavirus InfectionThe "COVIDOR" epidemiological study. Our study would be the first at the community level in Orleans Métropole, aiming to determine the link between a positive IgM level on the serological test and a healthy carrier of covid-19 in agents in contact with the public. It would provide epidemiological surveillance of anti-covid-19 immunity in the community
Acceptability of Telehealth Triage Using Robotic Systems in COVID-19
COVID-19Telemedicine3 moreThe overall objective of this investigation is to understand the patient response to a robotic platform used to facilitate telehealth triage in the emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the manner in which emergency department triage is completed. Attempts at cohorting individuals with potential COVID-19 disease in order to prevent disease transmission to healthcare workers and minimize the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) have renewed interest in telemedical solutions as a method to triage and manage individuals with COVID-19. This investigation deploys a legged robotic platform to facilitate agile, highly mobile telemedicine to manage COVID-19 patients in the emergency department. The primary objective is to measure the patient response to interacting with these systems.
COVID-19 Surveillance Based on Smart Wearable Device
COVID-19This is a prospective, multi-center cohort study. 200 subjects with COVID-19will be included . Wearable device's physiological parameters and clinical data will be continually collected , the investigators aim to explore whether using smart wearable devices is useful to early alerting deterioration of COVID-19.
