1 Assessment of Cerebral Compliance and Hemodynamics in Severe COVID-19

Several recent studies point to the possibility of the new coronavirus (SARS-Cov2), which currently causes pandemic COVID-19, to infiltrate the central nervous system (CNS) and cause primary damage to neural tissues, increasing the morbidity and mortality of these patients. A pathophysiological hypothesis for insulting the CNS would be the impairment of cerebral compliance (CC), because elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP), but due to the invasive nature of the methods available for ICP evaluation, this hypothesis has so far not been verified. Recently, a noninvasive technique was developed to evaluate CC (B4C sensor), making it possible to analyse CC in patients outside the neurosurgical environment. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to assess the presence of CC impairment in patients with COVID-19, and observe potential influences of this syndrome on cerebral hemodynamics.

NCT04429477 Intracranial Hypertension Cerebral Circulatory Failure Device: Cerebral compliance and hemodynamics monitoring
MeSH:Intracranial Hypertension Shock
HPO:Increased intracranial pressure

Primary Outcomes

Description: Observe alteration in cerebral compliance due to potential intracranial hypertension during severe COVID-19. This situation is indicated when the relation P2/P1 given by the B4C sensor is >1.

Measure: Detection of cerebral compliance impairment by the B4C sensor

Time: During critical care, around 15 days/patient

Description: Observe disturbances in cerebral circulation during severe COVID-19, given by blood flow velocities in middle cerebral arteries (with normal range 40-70 cm/s) and the pulsatility index (normal <1.2) calculated by transcranial Doppler.

Measure: Detection of cerebral hemodynamics impairment by transcranial Doppler

Time: During critical care, around 15 days/patient

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Observe whether disturbances in cerebral compliance and hemodynamics assessed in this population is significantly associated with higher mortality.

Measure: Calculate mortality in this population

Time: 3 months
