    Abstract Thrombocytopenia is a common lab finding. The two fundamental groups are lack of production versus overconsumption of platelets. When common causes of thrombocytopenia have been ruled out and less common causes, such as thrombotic microangiopathic conditions, have been considered, it is important to keep in mind that patients undergoing dialysis may develop thrombocytopenia from the dialyzer itself. This case is of a 51-year-old male who presented originally with celiac artery dissection and acute kidney injury requiring emergent dialysis. He ultimately developed thrombocytopenia during his hospitalization. It was initially presumed to be from thrombocytopenic purpura without improvement after plasmapheresis. No clear etiology was identified until it was suspected that the dialyzer was the source of thrombocytopenia. After changing the dialyzer type, the patient's thrombocytopenia resolved. Dialyzer-associated thrombocytopenia is a rare but reversible complication of hemodialysis. It is important to keep this differential in mind for patients undergoing hemodialysis.

    Abstract Aim: To estimate the incidence of in hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) in COVID 19 patients, as well as to compare the incidence and outcomes of IHCA in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) versus non ICU patients with COVID 19. Methods: We systematically reviewed the PubMed, Scopus and clinicaltrials.gov databases to identify relevant studies. Results: Eleven studies were included in our study. The pooled prevalence/incidence, pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (95% CI) were calculated, as appropriate. The quality of the included studies was assessed using appropriate tools. The pooled incidence of IHCA in COVID 19 patients was 7% [95% CI: 4, 11%; P < 0.0001] and 44% [95% CI: 30, 58%; P < 0.0001] achieved ROSC. Of those that survived, 58% [95% CI: 42, 74%; P < 0.0001] had a good neurological outcome (Cerebral Performance Category 1 or 2) and the mortality at the last follow up was 59% [95% CI: 37, 81%; P < 0.0001]. A statistically significant higher percentage of ROSC [OR (95% CI): 5.088 (2.852, 9.079); P < 0.0001] was found among ICU patients versus those in the general wards. Conclusion: The incidence of IHCA amongst hospitalized COVID 19 patients is 7%, with 44% of them achieving ROSC. Patients in the ICU were more likely to achieve ROSC than those in the general wards, however the mortality did not differ.

    Abstract Objectives: To investigate the incidence, characteristics, and outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 and to describe the characteristics and outcomes for patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest within the ICU, compared with non-ICU patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest. Finally, we evaluated outcomes stratified by age.
    Data sources: A systematic review of PubMed, EMBASE, and preprint websites was conducted between January 1, 2020, and December 10, 2020. Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews identification: CRD42020203369.
    Study selection: Studies reporting on consecutive in-hospital cardiac arrest with a resuscitation attempt among patients with coronavirus disease 2019.
    Data extraction: Two authors independently performed study selection and data extraction. Study quality was assessed with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were synthesized according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews guidelines. Discrepancies were resolved by consensus or through an independent third reviewer.
    Data synthesis: Eight studies reporting on 847 in-hospital cardiac arrest were included. In-hospital cardiac arrest incidence varied between 1.5% and 5.8% among hospitalized patients and 8.0-11.4% among patients in ICU. In-hospital cardiac arrest occurred more commonly in older male patients. Most initial rhythms were nonshockable (83.9%, [asystole = 36.4% and pulseless electrical activity = 47.6%]). Return of spontaneous circulation occurred in 33.3%, with a 91.7% in-hospital mortality. In-hospital cardiac arrest events in ICU had higher incidence of return of spontaneous circulation (36.6% vs 18.7%; p < 0.001) and relatively lower mortality (88.7% vs 98.1%; p < 0.001) compared with in-hospital cardiac arrest in non-ICU locations. Patients greater than or equal to 60 years old had significantly higher in-hospital mortality than those less than 60 years (93.1% vs 87.9%; p = 0.019).
    Conclusions: Approximately, one in 20 patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease 2019 received resuscitation for an in-hospital cardiac arrest. Hospital survival after in-hospital cardiac arrest within the ICU was higher than non-ICU locations and seems comparable with prepandemic survival for nonshockable rhythms. Although the data provide guidance surrounding prognosis after in-hospital cardiac arrest, it should be interpreted cautiously given the paucity of information surrounding treatment limitations and resource constraints during the pandemic. Further research is into actual causative mechanisms is needed.

    Abstract SESSION TITLE: Late-breaking Abstract Posters SESSION TYPE: Original Investigation Posters PRESENTED ON: October 18-21, 2020 PURPOSE: Evaluate patients with pneumomediastinum (PTM) as a complication of coronavirus 2019 (Covid-19) infection and their outcomes METHODS: Data was obtained by retrospective analysis of a database of Covid-19 patients, admitted to two New York hospitals from March 25th to April 26th, 2020 Identified 13 patients with PTM as a complication of Covid-19 RESULTS: Median age of patients was 67 years, 7 (54%) were men, and 1 patient had pre-existing emphysema Presenting symptoms included dyspnea (13/13, 100%), fever (10/13, 77%), and cough (9/13, 69%);none had chest pain Median presenting SaO2/FiO2 ratio was 359 Pneumomediastinum was diagnosed on presentation in 2 patients (15%), during hospitalization but prior to invasive mechanical ventilation in 4 patients (31%), and after invasive mechanical ventilation in 7 patients (54%) Six patients had CT scans confirming the diagnosis of PTM Twelve of the 13 patients were initiated on mechanical ventilation at median 5 5 days Four patients (31%) developed pneumothoraces and 1 patient required bilateral chest tube drainage Tension pneumothorax, tension pneumopericardium, and chest wall compartment syndrome were not observed in our cohort Pneumomediastinum self-resolved in 5 patients (38%) while on mechanical ventilation (Fig 1) Seven out of 12 intubated patients (58%) underwent prone ventilation without worsening of PTM One patient was discharged home, 10 patients expired, and 2 patients remain hospitalized CONCLUSIONS: Pneumomediastinum is a known sequelae of noncompliant lungs in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), typically in the setting of positive pressure delivered with invasive mechanical ventilation Our cohort had a low prevalence of predisposing risk factors such as emphysema, and a high mortality Pneumomediastinum was not strongly associated with mechanical ventilation, as nearly half (6/13) of the patients developed PTM prior to intubation CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: In our cohort, findings of PTM may be attributed to two main etiologies converging: damage from Covid-19 and self-inflicted increases in transpulmonary pressures We postulate that impaired surfactant production from type II pneumocytes may predispose to atelectrauma leading to diffuse alveolar injury and risk of rupture, unlike in typical ARDS where barotrauma occurs in the context of poorly compliant lungs Moreover, the increased work of breathing and pronounced cough seen in Covid-19 pneumonia may lead to increased transpulmonary pressures resulting in PTM Reductions in transpulmonary pressures after intubation with initiation of sedation and neuromuscular blockade may explain the resolution of PTM in spite of invasive ventilation Given the high mortality we observed, early identification and initiation of methods to reduce transpulmonary pressures is imperative to reduce risk of further complications DISCLOSURES: No relevant relationships by Young Im Lee, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Nan Li, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Joseph Mathew, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Lina Miyakawa, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Paru Patrawalla, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Paru Patrawalla, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Adam Rothman, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Vishad Sheth, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by David Steiger, source=Web Response No relevant relationships by Jigna Zatakia, source=Web Response
