Myth : When your oxygen Goes below 90 % , Get admitted.
Now if you see data.
More than 50 % of deaths are within 48 hours of admission.
What does it mean.
PEOPLE ARE REACHING HOSPITAL TOO LATE
Once Resting Oxygen is less than 90 % , more than 60% of your lung is involved.

PEOPLE ARE REACHING HOSPITAL TOO LATE
Once Resting Oxygen is less than 90 % , more than 60% of your lung is involved.
So How would you prevent this :
Whether its Home Treatment ( Not home isolation) or hospitalization .
EARLY TREATMENT is the key.
Fever , bodyache, weakness and in aged loss of appetite are early symptoms, Dont neglect them .

●MOST IMPORTANT
If you are in Home Quarantine check oxygen after walking for 5 mins , if oxygen after walking falls less than 94 % , it means in next 24 to 48 hours it will fall at Rest . This will give you time to arrange an Hospital bed and reach before its bad.

#CovidWarrior narrative hoping it will help others face #coronavirus better but w/ abundant caution. Not an expert or physician but narrative only from a patient perspective. Like most of us, thought it will not affect me and moving freely thinking I'm only helping others
20-20 hindsight, I put my family members in danger. I have joint family of five members now
1. My daughter who is waiting for US VISA after getting an admission top business ivy League school
2. My father-in-law and mother-in-law who are 84 and 80
3. I in 60s & my wife in 50s

I always joked about a sneeze or cough.
Sometime in 23rd May, I felt uneasy in throat. My daughter also felt the same. She was brave & got the test done Saturday May21 at home from a well known Pvt lab paying ₹4500/- lab fee on 23rd We got the #Covid+ result Mon May 25 by 3pm

#Plasmatherapy has been tried in SARS, H1N1 and EBOLA outbreaks in past as well. The plasma of patients that have recovered is called convalescent ( kan- val-ascent) plasma and is rich in antibodies (proteins that are produced by human body against infectious or foreign agent)
These antibodies neutralise the virus and help in recovery of critically ill by reducing the viral load. Convalescent plasma ( CP) has mainly been used as a last resort in critical cases. In current epidemic also was used in China for a small no of cases and been found helpful.
Issues with this treatment are:
1. It has not yet been tried on a large scale in COVID19.
2. Patients who recover from coronavirus infection must volunteer to donate blood.
3. Transfusions carry risk of reaction called transfusion reactions, some of which can be life threatening.

Lessons from two weeks on the frontlines of Detroit as a #COVIDwarrior.
We are winning some of these battles. We are pushing ultrafiltration and diuretics to keep these people dry.
These x-rays are consistent with reductions in paCO2, FiO2 and PEEP.

When we go the other way, have patients consistently in positive balance, they do worse.
Over and over we are seeing people present in advanced AKI, with creatinines of 6, 8, 17 with no previous CKD. They show up with Cr of 8 and potassium of 7, and are like check-mate time for dialysis. I have never started so many people on dialysis on the day of admission.
