“…The redeployment opportunity allowed patients to receive multi-disciplinary input from the outset, 25 , 58 the availability of such expertise reduced multiple encounters between physicians and patients, and subsequently contributed to a more efficient patient pathway. 59 One clinician described this as “a true luxury, patient centred care at its best” 57 .…”

“…Interestingly, clinicians have described the benefits of working with diagnostic imaging trainees, experienced in both clinical care and diagnostic imaging, which included improved communications and consultations with the imaging specialties. 9 The seconding of residents from their diagnostic imaging programs impinged upon their ability to study primary-specialty material for several months of their finite residency period.…”

Community SARS-CoV-2 has profoundly affected traditional elements of learning and teaching in nuclear medicine and diagnostic radiology departments. The response of the nuclear medicine community to the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic can be described in 3 phases: accommodation, consolidation and optimization, and a return towards normalcy. Adoption of virtual communication platforms has emerged as the crucial interim tool for preservation of trainee supervision and diagnostic imaging education. Development of supplemental teaching materials, refocusing research interests, and relaxation of requirements have all contributed toward stabilization of the residency programs. As we embark on a gradual return to normalcy, many of the virtual solutions that were employed have gained a degree of enduring popularity and may find a place in the postpandemic period.

IntroductionAs the COVID-19 pandemic evolves periodically, becomes evident that although affects primarily the respiratory system, its ability to trigger a significant inflammatory response, combined with neuropathy and coagulopathy, often evolves into complex systemic responses as opposed to a purely respiratory disease. This can lead into severe respiratory distress and failure, septic shock, arrhythmia and a multiple organ dysfunction; Circumstances where first-line non-invasive medical therapies become suboptimal and advanced lifesaving intervention including, but not limited to induced coma, intubation and veno-venous extracorporeal membranous oxygenation (VV-ECMO) might be required.Case PresentationAuthors present a rare case of a 58 year old male with a rapid deterioration following COVID-19 infection, requiring immediate intubation at the Emergency Department, which escalated with transfer to a VV-ECMO unit due to unresponsiveness on all standard medical therapies. During the induced coma under VV-ECMO, a bilateral psoas haematoma (PH) insidiously developed, with subsequent lumbar plexopathy complicated by a COVID-19-related mononeuritis multiplex, diagnosed only at a later stage during rehabilitation. Early haematoma evacuation was deemed unsafe, because of his frailty. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first description of a complex bilateral PH, requiring 198 days of in-hospital stay, combined efforts of 3 Teaching hospitals and an ad-hoc multidisciplinary team, for its management.ConclusionsAs the pandemic persists more patients might require VV-ECMO, which however is not risk-free mainly due to the fine balance between COVID-19 coagulopathy and VV-ECMO anti-coagulation protocols. Authors hope to increase awareness around complications and clinical challenges, providing reflections on their early recognition and management.
