    Acute respiratory distress syndrome in patients with COVID-19 vs. Non-COVID-19: clinical characteristics and outcomes in a tertiary care setting in Mexico City

    by Paul Palacios-Moguel, Alejandra Esquivel-Pineda, Xavier A. Flores-Andrade, Janet S. Aguirre-Sanchez, Nancy N. Cruz-Arellanes, Julio C. Sauza-Sosa, Naybeth García-Gonzalez, Daniel Manzur-Sandoval, Enma Toledo-Aleman, Edgar García-Cruz

    Background: Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) due tocoronavirus disease (COVID-19) infection has a unique phenotype generating a growing need to determine the existing differences that can alter existing evidence-based management strategies for ARDS. Research Question: What differences does the clinical profile of patients with ARDS due to COVID 19 and Non-COVID 19 have? Study Design and methods: We conducted a comparative, observational, retrospective study in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)of a third-level hospital in Mexico City, from March 2020 through March 2022. Clinical, echocardiographic, and laboratory variables were compared between patients with ARDS due to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and those due to other etiologies. Results: We enrolled 140 patients with a diagnosis of ARDS. The study group of COVID-19 etiology were younger males, higher body mass index, progressed to organ dysfunction, required more frequently renal replacement therapy, and higher SOFA score. There was no difference in rates of right ventricular dysfunction. Interpretation: COVID-19 ARDS exhibit much greater severity that led to higher admission and mortality rates, whilst being younger and less comorbid.

    Venous Air Embolism: Case Series of a Complication of Computed Tomography Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) in the Emergency Department of Medicine

    by Guillermo Cueto-Robledo, Leslie-Marisol Gonzalez-Hermosillo, Paul Palacios-Moguel, Ernesto Roldan-Valadez

    Introduction: Venous air embolism (VAE) consists of air entering vascular structures due to a pressure gradient generated during medical-surgical procedures. Most cases of VAE are iatrogenic. Case Reports: Three hospitalised patients aged 23 to 86 years underwent venous air embolism (VAE) in the right heart system after performing CTPA. One of the patients died from a complication of venous thromboembolic disease (PE, coronary sinus thrombosis, mesenteric venous thrombosis). Conclusions: CTPA is a procedure that a priori seems innocuous, but it can be a potential cause of death or serious consequences for patients undergoing radiological procedures where the administration of contrast and the use of an injector could be counterproductive. Radiologists and physicians responsible for the patient should be aware of vascular gas embolism after contrast injection in patients undergoing CTPA.
