ABSTRACT
We report a case of pulmonary thrombosis in a teenager during a hypercoagulable state associated with COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) caused by SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). A condition rare in children and adolescents, pulmonary thrombosis underdiagnosis likely increases morbidity and mortality. A pulmonary thrombosis diagnosis requires a high level of suspicion and relies on the combination of clinical presentation, D-dimer elevation, and computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography or ventilation/perfusion scans, imaging techniques that are difficult to perform. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has gained attention, as it provides real-time ventilation distribution analysis. In addition, lung pulsatility images can be obtained through this technique using electrocardiogram gating to filter out ventilation. In this case report, the reduced EIT pulsatility corresponded to the perfusion defect found on the CT scan, information that was obtained at the bedside without radiation or contrast exposure.

INTRODUCTION: Gastroschisis is a congenital malformation that has risk factors for delayed neuropsychomotor development. That is why it is important to recognize early developmental changes in these newborns during hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care UnitOBJECTIVE: To evaluate the motor performance of newborns with gastroschisis after surgical correctionMETHODS: An observational and retrospective study was carried out with newborns with gastroschisis, assessed by the Test of Infant Motor Performance at the Neonatal Intensive Care Center 2 of the Instituto da Criança e do Adolescente. The test allows the classification of the risk for developmental delay in 4 categories: within the average for age, low average, below average, and well below average. Maternal, neonatal, surgical, and motor assessment data were collected through electronic medical recordsRESULTS: Motor assessment was performed on 17 newborns, where 88.23% were classified as "below average" for age. The mean maternal age was 20 years, and the average gestational age and birth weight were 36.38 weeks and 2343.9 grams, respectively, with the majority being female. Simple gastroschisis accounted for 64.71%, and primary closure was possible in 82.35%. The average hospital stay of 53.24 days, and sepsis was the most frequent complication (64.71%CONCLUSION: Newborns with gastroschisis remain hospitalized for a long time and are susceptible to complications. It was possible to identify the delay in the development of these newborns early during hospitalization, which allows intervention by physiotherapy before the delay worsens
INTRODUÇÃO: A gastrosquise é uma malformação congênita que possui fatores de risco para o atraso no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Por isso é importante o reconhecimento precoce das alterações do desenvolvimento nesses recém-nascidos durante a internação na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva NeonatalOBJETIVO: Avaliar o desempenho motor de recém-nascidos com gastrosquise após correção cirúrgicaMÉTODO: Foi realizado um estudo observacional e retrospectivo com recém-nascidos com gastrosquise, avaliados pelo Test of Infant Motor Performance no Centro de Tratamento Intensivo Neonatal 2 do Instituto da Criança e do Adolescente. O teste permite a classificação do risco para o atraso do desenvolvimento em 4 categorias: dentro da média para idade, média baixa, abaixo da média e muito abaixo da média. Foram coletados dados maternos, neonatais, cirúrgicos e da avaliação motora, através de prontuários eletrônicosRESULTADOS: A avaliação motora foi realizada em 17 recém-nascidos, onde 88,23% foram classificados como "abaixo da média" para idade. A idade média materna foi de 20 anos e a média de idade gestacional e peso ao nascimento de 36,38 semanas e 2343,9 gramas, respectivamente, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino. As gastrosquises simples representaram 64,71% e o fechamento primário foi possível em 82,35%. A média de permanência hospitalar de 53,24 dias e a sepse foi a complicação mais frequente (64,71%CONCLUSÃO: Os recém-nascidos com gastrosquise permanecem internados por tempo prolongado e estão suscetíveis a complicações. Foi possível a identificação precoce do atraso no desenvolvimento desses recém-nascidos durante a internação
