Východiska: V průběhu pandemie virem SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) trpěli pacienti, léčení pro COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) infekci na jednotkách intenzivní péče (JIP), neuropsychiatrickými problémy jako byla úzkost, deprese či zmatenost. Samotné prostřední JIP mělo tendenci výše zmíněné příznaky zhoršovat. Prostředí JIP tak spolu s neuroinflamací, vyvolanou virovou infekcí, může vést k „toxické“ kombinaci. Diskuze a plánování strategií poskytování psychologické péče se tak ukázaly během pandemie COVID-19 jako nová velká výzva. Série případů: Autoři uvádějí vlastní zkušenosti s poskytováním psychologické péče na JIP u dvou onkologických pacientek s oxygenační poruchou při infekci SARS-CoV-2. Naše pozorování naznačuje těsnou časovou souvislost mezi elevací zánětlivých markerů interleukinu 6 (IL-6), resp. C-reaktivního proteinu (CRP) a rychlým rozvojem intenzivní úzkosti při progresi dechové tísně, asociované s mozkovou hypoxií a potenciální neuroinflamací. Závěr: Vzhledem k tomu, že IL-6 reguluje indukci exprese genu pro CRP, mohou být změny hladin IL-6, spojené s úzkostí při potenciální neuroinflamací detekovány řádově o několik hodin dříve oproti změnám hladin CRP, což může lékařům pomoci v diagnostice. Onkologičtí pacienti s infekcí virem SARS-CoV-2 léčeni na naší JIP žádali o osobní kontakt s klinickými psychology u lůžka a tento přístup považovali za nenahraditelný. Psychologickou péči vnímali pacienti jako přínosnou.
Background: During the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, patients treated with acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in intensive care units (ICU) have suffered from neuropsychiatric complications such as anxiety, depression, and confusion. Conditions related to the environment have the potential to worsen these symptoms. In combination with virus-dependent neuroinflammation, they form a “toxic” mixture. Discussion and planning strategies for providing psychological care in the ICU during the pandemic have revealed a great current challenge. Case series: We share our experience concerning psychological interventions for oncological patients with oxygen saturation depletion. Our observation of two SARS-CoV-2 patients suggests a close time-related association between the increase in inflammatory markers interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) and intensive anxiety in the fast development of breath shortening in acute COVID-19 infection due to brain hypoxia and potential neuroinflammation. Conclusion: As cytokine IL-6 regulates induction of CRP gene expression, the changes in IL-6 concentrations associated with anxiety symptoms and breath shortening in the observed cluster can be detected hours earlier than changes in CRP levels, with a diagnostic implication for the clinicians. The SARS-CoV-2 patients with oncological diseases treated in our ICU asked for personal bedside contact with clinical psychologists, considered it irreplaceable and reported this psychological care as beneficial.

INTRODUCTION: Fibrinogen is one of the essential coagulation factors. Preoperative lower plasma fibrinogen level has been associated with higher blood loss. Scoliosis surgery presents a challenge for the anaesthetic team, one of the reasons being blood loss and transfusion management. Recently, the prophylactic fibrinogen administration has been a debated topic in various indications. It has been described for example, in urological or cardiovascular surgery, as well as in paediatrics. This pilot study is focused on verifying the feasibility of potential large randomised trial and verifying the safety of prophylactic fibrinogen administration in paediatric scoliosis surgery. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A total of 32 paediatric patients indicated for scoliosis surgery will be recruited. Participants will be randomised into study groups in a 1:1 allocation ratio. Patients in the intervention group will receive prophylactic single dose of fibrinogen, in addition to standard of care. Patients in the control group will receive standard of care without study medication prior to skin incision. The primary aim is to assess the safety of prophylactic fibrinogen administration during scoliosis surgery in children, the incidence of any adverse events (AEs) and reactions will be monitored during participation in the study. The secondary objective is to investigate the additional safety information, feasibility and efficacy of a prophylactic fibrinogen administration. The incidence of AEs and reactions according to selected adverse events of special interest will be monitored. All collected data will be subjected to statistical analysis according to a separate statistical analysis plan. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: This trial follows the applicable legislation and requirements for good clinical practice according to the International Conference on Harmonisation E6(R2). All essential trial documents were approved by the relevant ethics committee and national regulatory authority (State Institute for Drug Control) and their potential amendments will be submitted for approval. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT05391412.

Scoliosis is the most frequent spinal deformity in children. It is defined as a spine deviation of more than 10° in the frontal plane. Neuromuscular scoliosis is associated with a heterogeneous spectrum of muscular or neurological symptoms. Anesthesia and surgery for neuromuscular scoliosis have a higher risk of perioperative complications than for idiopathic scoliosis. However, patients and their relatives report improved quality of life after the surgery. The challenges for the anesthetic team result from the specifics of the anesthesia, the scoliosis surgery itself, or factors associated with neuromuscular disorders. This article includes details of preanesthetic evaluation, intraoperative management, and postoperative care in the intensive care unit from an anesthetic view. In summary, adequate care for patients who have neuromuscular scoliosis requires interdisciplinary cooperation. This comprehensive review covers information about the perioperative management of neuromuscular scoliosis for all healthcare providers who take care of these patients during the perioperative period, with an emphasis on anesthesia management.

INTRODUCTION: Management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) requires a multidisciplinary approach and represents a significant challenge for both neurosurgeons and intensivists. The role of brain tissue oxygenation (PbtO2) monitoring and its impact on posttraumatic outcomes remains a controversial topic. AIM OF THE STUDY: Our study aimed to evaluate the impact of PbtO2 monitoring on mortality, 30 days and 6 months neurological outcomes in patients with severe TBI compared with those resulting from standard intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring. MATERIAL AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study, we analysed the outcomes of 77 patients with severe TBI who met the inclusion criteria. These patients were divided into two groups, including 37 patients who were managed with ICP and PbtO2 monitoring protocols and 40 patients who were managed using ICP protocols alone. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in demographic data between the two groups. We found no statistically significant differences in mortality or Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores one month after TBI. However, our results revealed that GOS scores at 6 months had improved significantly among patients managed with PbtO2; this finding was particularly notable for Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) scores of 4-5. Close monitoring and management of reductions in PbtO2, particularly by increasing the fraction of inspired oxygen, was associated with higher partial pressures of oxygen in this group. CONCLUSIONS: Monitoring of PbtO2 may facilitate the appropriate evaluation and treatment of low PbtO2 and represents a promising tool for the management of patients with severe TBI. Additional studies will be needed to confirm these findings.

BACKGROUND: Providing palliative care at the end of life (EOL) in intensive care units (ICUs) seems to be modified during the COVID-19 pandemic with potential burden of moral distress to health care providers (HCPs). We seek to assess the practice of EOL care during the COVID-19 pandemic in ICUs in the Czech Republic focusing on the level of moral distress and its possible modifiable factors. METHODS: Between 16 June 2021 and 16 September 2021, a national, cross-sectional study in intensive care units (ICUs) in Czech Republic was performed. All physicians and nurses working in ICUs during the COVID-19 pandemic were included in the study. For questionnaire development ACADEMY and CHERRIES guide and checklist were used. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyse possible modifiable factors of moral distress. RESULTS: In total, 313 HCPs (14.5% out of all HCPs who opened the questionnaire) fully completed the survey. Results showed that 51.8% (n = 162) of respondents were exposed to moral distress during the COVID-19 pandemic. 63.1% (n = 113) of nurses and 71.6% of (n = 96) physicians had experience with the perception of inappropriate care. If inappropriate care was perceived, a higher chance for the occurrence of moral distress for HCPs (OR, 1.854; CI, 1.057-3.252; p = 0.0312) was found. When patients died with dignity, the chance for moral distress was lower (OR, 0.235; CI, 0.128-0.430; p < 0.001). The three most often reported differences in palliative care practice during pandemic were health system congestion, personnel factors, and characteristics of COVID-19 infection. CONCLUSIONS: HCPs working at ICUs experienced significant moral distress during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic. The major sources were perceiving inappropriate care and dying of patients without dignity. Improvement of the decision-making process and communication at the end of life could lead to a better ethical and safety climate. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT04910243 .

BACKGROUND: Congenital cataract, facial dysmorphism, and neuropathy (CCFDN) syndrome is an extremely rare multiorgan disorder. Characteristics include congenital cataracts, facial deformation, extremity deformities, and demyelinating neuropathy. CCFDN syndrome is associated with increased risk during anesthesia including rhabdomyolysis or epileptic seizures. There is a lack of published information about difficult airways in these patients. Difficult airways during intubation represent one of the most dreaded anesthesia complications: A "can not intubate, can not oxygenate" scenario. Presented herein is the first described successful endotracheal intubation of a CCFDN syndrome patient. CASE SUMMARY: We report the anesthetic management of a 13-year-old girl with CCFDN syndrome scheduled for posterior neuromuscular scoliosis correction surgery. The patient suffered from extensive progressive neuromuscular scoliosis with a Cobb angle of 83°. Her limitations included neuropathy and a scoliotic curve. This condition negatively impacted her quality of life. This case reflects the potential anesthetic complications for posterior scoliosis correction and CCFDN syndrome. The challenge for our anesthetic team was the limited amount of data about anesthetic management of this condition. In total, one case report without any data about endotracheal intubation of patients with this condition was available. Endotracheal intubation in our case was uncomplicated. Another focus of our case was the prevention of possible complications associated with this syndrome, including rhabdomyolysis and seizures. Rhabdomyolysis can be triggered by some types of anesthetic agents like suxamethonium or volatile anesthetics, especially in patients with certain types of myopathies. CONCLUSION: Adequate understanding of the anesthetic management of CCFDN syndrome can reduce perioperative complications and improve patient outcome after surgery.

Zhu-Tokita-Takenouchi-Kim (ZTTK) syndrome is an extremely rare multiorgan disorder, first described in 2015. Nowadays, about 50 patients with ZTTK syndrome have been reported, but there are no data about management during anesthesia. ZTTK syndrome patients can be indicated for surgery of musculoskeletal deformations and corrections of cardiovascular or urogenital malformations. This syndrome can be challenging for the anesthetic team based on the clinical manifestation of the syndrome. Because there are no recommendations for the management of these patients, anesthesiologists have to study typical symptoms, anatomy and possible expected changes in pathophysiology in perioperative period. One of the most dreaded anesthetic complications, the scenario "can not intubate, can not ventilate" could occur in these patients. The goal of this publication is to show options for anesthetic and perioperative management of this new rare syndrome with no published studies about management and approach in the perioperative period. The anesthetic team should choose the safest available approach. We present the first case report of anesthesia of a patient with ZTTK syndrome, a 7-year-old boy indicated for posterior neuromuscular scoliosis correction and fusion. This case describes the author's experiences with anesthetic management and mentions possible early postoperative complications. Adequate understanding of this syndrome can reduce perioperative complications and improve patient outcomes after surgery.

Cíl studie: Léčba pacientů s těžkým průběhem onemocnění covid-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) kortikoidy je doporučena Světovou zdravotnickou organizací na základě výsledků studie RECOVERY. Stále však existuje mnoho otázek stran dávkování, načasování nebo volby konkrétní účinné látky. Toto dotazníkové šetření mělo za úkol zjistit, jakou strategii v podávání systémových kortikoidů skutečně praktikují lékaři ošetřující nemocné s covidem-19 na jednotkách intenzivní péče v České republice. Typ studie: Průřezové dotazníkové šetření. Materiál a metoda: Elektronický dotazník obsahující 15 otázek byl zaslán členům České společnosti anesteziologie, resuscitace a intenzivní medicíny, České společnosti intenzivní medicíny a České pneumologické a ftizeologické společnosti. Dotazník byl vyhodnocen pomocí deskriptivní statistické analýzy. Výsledky: Dotazník vyplnilo celkem 233 respondentů, z toho 231 odpovědí bylo analyzováno. Nejvíce zastoupenou skupinou respondentů byli sekundární lékaři s ukončeným specializačním vzděláváním v oboru Anesteziologie a intenzivní medicína (AIM) (32 %, n = 74). Nejčastější indikací k zahájení podávání kortikoidů u pacientů s covidem-19 byla probíhající oxygenoterapie (maskou nebo nosní kanylou) (59,3 %, n = 137) a vysokoprůtoková nosní kanyla (HFNC) (21,6 %, n = 50). Nejčastěji aplikovaným kortikoidem byl dexamethason (75,8 %, n = 175) v dávce 8 mg i. v. (48,6 %, n = 85), nebo v dávce 6 mg i. v. (32,0 %, n = 56), následován metylprednisolonem (25,5 %, n = 59) v dávce 80 mg i. v. (35,6%, n = 21), nebo v dávce 40 mg i. v. (13,6 %, n = 8). Nejčastější délka terapie byla 10 dnů dexamethason (60,6 %, n = 106), metylprednisolon (20,3 %, n = 12). Závěr: Zahájení kortikoidní terapie bylo nejčastěji indikováno u pacientů s covidem-19 a oxygenoterapií. Nejčastěji aplikovaným lékem byl dexamethason 8 mg i. v. a 6 mg i. v. po dobu 10 dnů.
Study objective: Administration of systemic corticosteroids in patients with severe COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) has been recommended by World Health Organization (WHO) according to the RECOVERY trial results. However, there is still ongoing debate regarding the evidence supporting the dose, timing, route of administration and type of corticosteroid. This survey aimed to describe the current clinical practice of administration of systemic corticosteroids for patients with COVID-19 within Intensive Care Units (ICU) in Czech Republic. Study design: cross-sectional survey Material and methods: Electronic survey containing 15 questions was sent to the members of Czech Society of Anaesthesiology, Resuscitation and Intensive Care, Czech Society of Intensive care and Czech Pneumological and Phthisiological Society members. The results were analysed by descriptive statistic methods. Results: The survey fulfilled 233 respondents and 231 answers were eligible for analysis. The most prevalent group was attending physician with completed training in anaesthesiology and intensive care medicine (AIM) (32 %, n = 74). The most prevalent indication for initiation of corticosteroid treatment was oxygen therapy (face mask or nasal cannula) (59,3 %, n = 137) and high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNC) (21,6 %, n = 50). The most preferred corticosteroid was dexamethasone (75,8 %, n = 175) at dose of 8 mg intravenously (i. v.) (48,6 %, n = 85), or dose of 6 mg i. v. (32,0 %, n = 56) followed by methylprednisolone (25,5 %, n= 59) at dose of 80 mg i. v. (35,6 %, n = 21), and 40 mg i. v. (13,6 %, n = 8), respectively. The preferred duration of therapy was 10 days (dexamethasone 60,6 %, n = 106, methylprednisolone 20,3 %, n = 12). Conclusion: Administration of corticosteroid was dominantly initiated in patients with severe COVID-19 receiving supplemental oxygen. The corticosteroid of first choice was intravenous dexamethasone at dose of 8 mg and 6 mg for 10 days, respectively.
