Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The prevalence of RV dysfunction in ventilated patients with COVID-19

    RV dysfunction will be defined as Trans Thoracic Echo (TTE) evidence of RV dilatation along with the presence of septal flattening (in systole, diastole or both).

    Any timepoint from eligibility (ventilation for more than 48 hours) to 14 days following tracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation.

  • Association of RV dysfunction with 30-day mortality.

    Up to 30-days following intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Association of ARDS and RV dysfunction

    At time of echocardiography

  • Association of micro/macro thrombi and RV dysfunction

    At time of echocardiography

  • The association of direct myocardial injury and RV dysfunction

    At time of echocardiography

  • The association of ventilation and RV dysfunction

    At time of echocardiography

  • Association of ARDS and 30-day mortality

    Up to 30-days following intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

EchocardiographyDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Echocardiography will be undertaken by a range of appropriately competent practitioners including; intensive care clinicians, cardiologists and specialist echocardiographers. Imaging obtained will be in keeping with the protocol required for a Focused Intensive Care Echo (FICE) scan and should include ECG monitoring at all times. A focused dataset will be used to answer the primary outcome. If available and the echocardiographers competency and experience permit, further measures of RV function will be obtained at this time.

Study Population

Patients requiring tracheal intubation and intermittent positive pressure ventilation for COVID-19 in Scottish intensive care units

You may qualify if:

  • Provision of informed consent.
  • Age \> 16 years.
  • Confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection with severe acute respiratory failure requiring tracheal intubation and positive pressure ventilation in intensive care for more than 48 hours.

You may not qualify if:

  • Pregnancy.
  • Ongoing participation in any investigational research that may undermine the scientific basis of the study.
  • Prior participation in the COVID-RV study.
  • Ventilated for less than 48 hours prior to study recruitment.
  • Those patients requiring extra-corporeal life support for respiratory or cardiovascular failure (veno-venous \[VV\] or veno-arterial \[VA\] extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation \[ECMO\]).
  • Patient where end of life care has been instituted and they are not expected to survive for the next 24 hours.
