#Remdesivir is to be given not to everyone who tests positive.

Remdesivir isn't a 'Ram-ban', it only decreases viral load in people who need it.

- Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Medanta Hospital

#IndiaFightsCoronav
Today we have enough oxygen if we try to use it judiciously. We don't want to waste oxygen.

Do not use oxygen as a “security blanket”. Waste of oxygen will only lead to depriving someone who needs it.

- Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Medanta Hospital

#IndiaFightsCorona
Following #COVID appropriate behavior is the first line of defence and the most effective way to prevent the virus from spreading.

Don't rush to the hospitals, just because you've tested positive.

- Dr. Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Medanta Hospital

If your O2 saturation is above 94% then there is no problem. But if it is falling after exercise, then, you need to call a doctor. It's important you get the right treatment at the right time: Dr Devi Shetty, Chairman, Narayana Health Image
There is a possibility that you may be asymptomatic, then, doctors will tell you to stay at home, isolate yourself, wear a mask and check your oxygen saturation every 6 hours: Dr Devi Shetty, Chairman, Narayana Health Image
If you have any symptom like body ache, cold, cough, indigestion, vomiting- I have one important message- get yourself tested for #COVID19. It is the most important thing: Dr Devi Shetty, Chairman, Narayana Health Image

Dr. Randeep Guleria, Dr. Naresh Trehan and Dr. Devi Shetty addressed some common misconceptions and apprehensions surrounding #COVID19

Here are the highlights of the discussion 👇
AIIMS Director, Dr. Randeep Guleria speaks on who needs oxygen.

In healthy individuals with oxygen saturation 93-94, there's no need to really take high flow oxygen just to maintain your saturation at 98-99 (1/3)

#IndiaFightsCOVID19
Oxygen is a treatment, it's like a drug. Taking oxygen intermittently is an absolute waste of oxygen. There is no data that shows that this will be of any help to you & therefore you shouldn't do: AIIMS Director, Dr. Randeep Guleria
