Intubated, Awake, and Paralysed: A Never Event
Huw Mayberry, Alyssa M. Burgart, Constantinos Kanaris
Volume 1, Issue 3-4, December 2021, Pages 60-64
In this paper, we argue that paralysis-only intubation is almost never acceptable practice. We look at the evidence suggesting that this practice remains commonplace worldwide, its frequency has been exacerbated further by anaesthetic drug shortages secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. We make a strong...

Amarjeet Kumar, Ajeet Kumar, Chandni Sinha, Prabhat Kumar Singh, Chethan Vamshi, Gayatri D. Sagdeo
Volume 1, Issue 3-4, December 2021, Pages 51-53
Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is one of the major complication of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection, commonly manifested during the second week of infection. The pathophysiology and mechanisms of AKI in patients with COVID-19 have not been fully elucidated and seem to be multifactorial. There...
