Covid-19 Treatment Update | Kauvery Hospital
Monday May 24, 2021
Monday May 24, 2021
This is the latest update on COVID-19. Let us understand that there is no magical cure for coronavirus. But knowing what works and what doesn’t work for it is important.
Remdesivir, steroids may have a role in the anti-inflammatory aspect of COVID-19, but they cannot be completely relied upon. Besides, when we hear that Ivermectin is a great miracle that works for everybody, take it with a pinch of salt. You can take NSAIDs if your fever doesn’t come down with paracetemol, but you should not take steroids.
Watch Dr Vijalakshmi Balakrishnan talk about the role of anticoagulation in patients with stroke, on the usage of aspirin extensively, on Remdesivir not to be used on patients in ventilation, when to do proning and its significance, and why nothing else but oxygen plays a pivotal role in the treatment of COVID-19 during these difficult times. The take-home message is we are in shortage of oxygen in India. Use it judiciously.
