During the period of three years, 1,414 patients underwent laparoscopic surgery. 18 patients underwent diagnostic laparoscopy under local anaesthesia. All these patients in addition to the suspected pathology of the abdominal cavity were diagnosed with severe concomitant cardiopulmonary pathology including acute myocardial infarction, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, coma of various genesis, pneumonia. The proposed technique included a local anaesthesia around the navel, laparolifting, the insertion of a laparoscope and a short inspection (3-5 min) of the abdominal organs. Sometimes, especially in patients with hypertension, spinal or epidural anesthesia was used. While diagnosticating the pathology, if necessary, the anaesthesia was given, carboperitonium was applied and the necessary surgery was performed.

Background: Elderly survivors of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at elevated risk for hemorrhagic stroke, which has a mortality rate of approximately 50%. Increasing use of warfarin for arterial fibrillation and anti-platelet agents for AMI combined with an increasing aging population may have influenced the risk of post-AMI strokes. We sought to characterize temporal trends in the risk for and mortality from hemorrhagic stroke over 12 years among older AMI survivors of different age, sex, race, revascularization status, and region within the US. Methods: We used 100% of Medicare inpatient claims data to identify all fee-for-service (FFS) patients aged> 64 years who were hospitalized for AMI in 1999-2010. We excluded patients who died during the hospitalization or were transferred. Revascularization procedures were identified during the index admission. We used a Cox proportional-hazards regression model to estimate the risk-adjusted annual changes in one-year hemorrhagic stroke hospitalization after AMI, overall and by subgroups. Changes were adjusted by age, gender, race, medical history and comorbidities. We calculated the 30-day mortality among patients readmitted for hemorrhagic stroke. Stroke belt regions were defined as the states with high stroke hospitalization rates in the southeast United States. Results: Among 2,433,036 AMI hospitalizations and 4,852 hemorrhagic stroke readmissions, the risk-adjusted one-year post-AMI hemorrhagic stroke rate remained stable from 1999 to 2010 (range, 0.2% to 0.3%). No significant trends were found for post-AMI stroke rates across all age-sex-race groups and all treatment groups (Figure). Thirty-day mortality rates for stroke after AMI did not show significant changes (1999, 46.7%, 95% CI 39.9%-53.7%; 2010, 50.7%, 95% CI 45.3%-56.1%; range: 46.5% to 54.6%). No difference was found in post-AMI hemorrhagic stroke rates between the stroke belt and non-stroke belt regions. Conclusions: From 1999 to 2010, the overall hospitalization rates of hemorrhagic stroke after AMI were relatively stable without significant changes across all subgroups. Thirty-day mortality rates remained largely unchanged over time. Stroke risk in the stroke belt was not found significantly higher comparing with non-stroke belt states.

A few months after the onset of the coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the worse prognoses of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, and cardiac arrest were reported. This study aimed to investigate the changes in the characteristics and prognoses of these diseases in the emergency department (ED) over a year after pandemic’s onset. This was a retrospective observational study. The year 2019 was defined as the pre-period, while the year from February 2020 to January 2021 was defined as the post-period. Adult patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, or cardiac arrest during the study period were included. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. Time series analyses using autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA)(p,d,q) model were performed to evaluate the changes between periods. A multivariable logistic regression analysis of factors affecting in-hospital mortality was performed. The proportions of patients with acute myocardial infarction (0.8% vs. 1.1%, p < 0.001), hemorrhagic stroke (1.0%vs. 1.2%, p = 0.011), and cardiac arrest (0.9% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.012) increased in the post-period. The post-period was independently associated with in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.54, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06–6.08, p = 0.037) and hemorrhagic stroke (aOR 1.74, 95% CI 1.11–2.73, p = 0.016), but not for ischemic stroke or cardiac arrest. Over a year after onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in Korea, the number of patients with acute myocardial infarction, hemorrhagic stroke, and cardiac arrest in the ED increased. An independent association between the post-period and mortality was observed for acute myocardial infarction, and hemorrhagic stroke. This study provides important information for future studies and policies.
