| Aim Computed tomography (CT) images of the chest were often used to support the diagnosis of COVID-19 and infectious diseases. This study aims to question the importance of specific chest CT results in predicting the prognosis of COVID-19 patients being followed up in the intensive care unit (ICU). Materials and Methods For this study, 20 critically ill patients whose RT-PCR tests were positive for COVID-19 were included. Mortality, invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilator requirement, APACHE II scores and ICU staying days were compared chest CT scans with have poor prognosis results before admission to ICU. Results Critical patients who were followed up in the ICU due to COVID-19 disease with crazy laying pattern on chest CT images, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant requirement for invasive mechanical ventilation support during the ICU period (P = 0.04). We reported that all patients with pleural and pericardial effusion required invasive mechanical ventilation support. One of the chest CT results observed in critical COVID-19 patients ın ICU is that the consolidation / ground glass opacity pattern> 1 may have a higher (about five-fold) mortality rate. Most of our critical COVID-19 patients who stayed in intensive care for a long time had a crazy laying pattern on chest CT images. Conclusion We believe that some results obtained from chest CT scans in COVID-19 disease may predict the prognosis of the patient during the intensive care period. |
