Despite initial improvement from COVID, these (N=27) pts got progressively sicker & died
From their autopsies, the authors found “SARS-Cov-2 infection persisted significantly longer than suggested by standard PCR-negative tests.”

🧵We often refer our patients for "neuropsychological" testing but what exactly is it, do you need it, and how does it add value? A thread. 1/10 @CIBScenter
Neuropsychological testing - also known as cognitive testing - aims to provide a comprehensive look at key areas of your cognitive functioning - aspects of your memory, attention, processing speed, executive functioning and more. It is a "deep dive." 2/10
Neuropsychological testing contrasts with cognitive screening (CS). Often 5 or 10 or so minutes in length. CS has a valuable place and a role to play but it provides a brief glimpse, has limitations especially in mild cases, and is not diagnostic. @CIBScenter 3/10
🧵We've been leading support groups for #ICU survivors for nearly 10 years (over 2 years with #LongCovid patients). Across literally thousands of patient encounters, what have we learned? I'll unpack these insights in tweets to follow. Thanks for reading them. @CIBScenter 1/10
To begin, the ROI for support groups is enormous- they require minimal expenses, utilize few resources, allow you to touch the lives of sometimes dozens of people at the same time, and contribute to changed lives. An inexpensive way to make a big impact. 2/10
They require competent leaders who understand group processes. You can find such people or you can become one but make sure that for at least one group leader, this is not their "first rodeo." We don't all have to be experts but we owe members that much. 3/10
Executive dysfunction is common in survivors of #Covid_19 and #PICS but how is it expressed? Let's unpack the expressions of this condition in a 🧵. @CIBScenter @WesElyMD 1 of 5
The 'sine qua non' of executive functioning is planning. Often measured using the WCST or the Tower Test. Deficts reflect an inability to formulate strategies, to take efficient routes, to anticipate needs in advance, to tackle problems systematically. @CIBScenter
Another key component is called "set shifting" - assessed on brief cognitive tests like the Trails B Test - it involves the ability to transition rapidly from one type of task to another, and then back again. Set shifting deficits interfere at home and work. @CIBScenter
Whether the brain is damaged from a hit to the head like w/ concussion or damaged from a viral or bacterial infection, the edema/inflammation can cause strikingly similar symptom presentation in many patients, eg sensory overload/intense focus causing nausea + vomiting #LongCOVID
From the beginning of the pandemic it’s something that has stood out from patient reports. High functioning people saying they can’t read. That sound, light, movement *hurts* them now. That they need to take cognitive breaks or very slow processing. #pwME #LongCOVID #PICS #Lyme
And I learned how poorly we actually care for patients after concussion. How very little we have to offer them from a medical perspective, especially those whose symptoms linger.
As we learn more about the various ways the brain can be damaged, I hope we find better ways to heal

If people appropriately prepare for their “ACTUAL” QOL, there’s a narrow gap and all is well.

Ok. As promised, here is a super-🧵 on cognition and #LongCovid. This will be a combination of published material and things that we have observed in-clinic. This is not intended to be definitive nor epidemiological and so it is highly likely that your personal experience (1/n)
may deviate significantly. This is about my reading and experience of cognition and #LongCovid but from what I have seen shared in the comments of my tweet yesterday, it seems that much of this may apply to other infection-associated chronic illnesses (h/t @microbeminded2) (2/n)
such as #MECFS, #Lyme and #dysautonomia/#POTS to name a few. Let’s start out with naming. I try not to use the term “brain fog” because I don’t think it conveys the seriousness. People with LC are experiencing cognitive dysfunction that often results in cognitive impairment (3/n)
1/🧵 You have a COVID ICU patient on benzos who doesn’t respond to needle injection of local anesthetic do to sedatives.

History Lesson 📝
In the past, too many decisions in #CriticalCare were guided by fear. We oversedated patients for too long out of worry they might self-extubate & pull off restraints.
That’s happening again 🤮

1/🧵 Seeing Differently in #COVID ICU Care 👁
