Abstract
ALTERNATIVE OXYGENATION STRATEGIES IN COVID PATIENTS
*Dr. Sandhya M.
ABSTRACT
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) involves the lungs leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Lung involvement leads to reduced oxygenation of the tissues and hypoxia. Mechanical ventilation with positive pressure ventilation fails to improve oxygenation due to the fibrosis and thromboembolism in the lung impeding gas exchange and potentially damaging the lungs continuing the downward spiral of hypoxemia and multi-organ failure.
