Medicii din Romania le vorbesc bolnavilor de Coronavirus despre terapia cu oxigen, care este necesara pentru supravietuirea lor daca ajung la terapie intensiva, iar mesajul vine in contextul in care foarte multe informatii false criticau folosirea sa deoarece ar omora oamenii.
“Mesajul unui medic: Terapia cu oxigen este cheia menținerii vieții în speranța unei evoluții favorabile a leziunilor induse de infecția virală.
“Oxigenul nostru cel de toate zilele…
The human species is dependent on oxygen. If the lungs were not able to bring the necessary oxygen into the blood, due to the various diseases that can affect them - including Covid-19 - the body would die.
In the COVID wards of the Marius Nasta Institute of Pneumophthisiology, patients very often end up in hospital with severe lung damage evidenced by frightening oxygen saturations: 70%, 60%, even 50%, this means that less than half of the red blood cells that arrive in the lung I find this gas to be able to take it and take it to the brain, heart...
The treatment is a priority for these patients, according to the protocols in force, and in the first place, the medicine needed from the first moment in COVID is OXYGEN, which is administered at a huge flow to allow the saturation to increase to an acceptable level for the functioning of the vital organs, which have key role in the survival of the body to the crisis generated by the virus.
The experience of the pandemic has shown us that the required oxygen flow can be very high, up to 60 liters per minute! And unfortunately, some patients continue to get worse with all the treatment available at the moment, sometimes requiring invasive, intense and difficult to tolerate means that allow oxygen to reach the vital organs... and I'm sure many of you have heard these days the words: non-invasive ventilation or intubation or mechanical ventilation.
Oxygen therapy does NOT burn the lungs, but is the key to sustaining life in the hope of a favorable evolution of the lesions induced by the viral infection.”
