Cardiovascular Consequences and Considerations of Coronavirus Infection – Perspectives for the Cardiothoracic Anesthesiologist and Intensivist During the Coronavirus Crisis 2020-04-09 .txt text/plain 2073 160 38 [1] [2] [3] [4] In the cohort of patients with severe COVID-19, the risks of admission to an intensive care unit are high owing to critical conditions such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, cardiovascular collapse, and acute renal failure. [1] [2] [3] [4] The unique considerations of this important infection significantly affect the management approaches to these patients by cardiothoracic anesthesiologists and intensivists with respect to airway management, echocardiography, anesthetic care, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. 33 Furthermore, in patients with severe COVID-19, additional factors that may compromise right ventricular function include myocarditis, vasoplegic shock, and acute coronary syndromes as outlined above. [11] [12] [13] Owing to these multiple mechanisms that can challenge the right ventricle, echocardiography to assess right ventricular function and responses to therapy will facilitate a more individualized approach to resuscitation and management in patients with severe COVID-19.
