· CO2 monitors, in turn, can be utilized to assess the risk of transmission in a given environment, Huffman said, including situations in which people are either not wearing masks or doing so improperly. As a general rule of thumb, when CO2 levels go up, so does the risk of contracting COVID-19. “After time it builds up, no matter how far you ...

· Among patients with non-severe COVID-19 and no risk factors for severe disease receiving a single 400 mcg/kg dose of ivermectin within 72 h of fever or cough onset there was no difference in the proportion of PCR positives. There was however a marked reduction of self-reported anosmia/hyposmia, a reduction of cough and a tendency to lower viral loads and lower IgG titers which warrants ...
The trial included 72 hospitalized patients in Dhaka, Bangladesh, who were assigned to one of three groups: oral ivermectin alone (12 mg once daily for 5 days), oral ivermectin in combination with doxycycline (12 mg ivermectin single dose and 200 mg doxycycline on day 1, followed by 100 mg every 12 h for the next 4 days), and a placebo control group. Clinical symptoms of fever, cough, and sore ...
· Experts call for CO2 sensors as tool in Covid fight. CO 2 levels in rooms and other enclosed spaces should be used as a proxy for Covid transmission risk, a number of leading experts have said, as the evidence increasingly points towards airborne transmission being a major factor in the spread of the virus. This article was originally published ...
· The importance of properly performing recruitment maneuvers was illustrated by an analysis of eight randomized controlled trials in non-COVID-19 patients (n = 2,544) which found that recruitment maneuvers did not reduce hospital mortality (RR ; 95% CI, –). Subgroup analysis found that traditional recruitment maneuvers ...
· Based on the preliminary results from two, randomized, placebo-controlled trials investigating otilimab and lenzilumab, and a small, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of mavrilimumab, the Panel has determined that there is insufficient evidence to recommend either for or against the use of GM-CSF inhibitors for the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
· A total of % (662/803) of COVID-19 patients had good BP control, and % (141/803) had poor BP control during hospitalization (Table 1). Compared to those with good BP control, the patients ...
This is an update of the ECDC guidance dated 12 March 2020 ‘Infection prevention and control for COVID-19 in healthcare settings’ [1]. This update focuses on measures to be applied in settings with increasing community transmission, a growing demand for care of COVID-19 patients and ensuing staff issues in the event of shortages

Methods: Forty hospitalized patients who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 using a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction test were evaluated. They were randomly divided into an experimental group (n= 20; gargling with % H2O2 and nasal wash with % H2O2) or a control group (n= 20). The solutions were used for 7 days and the patients were ...

· SARS-CoV-2-RNA has been detected in the airways of COVID-19-patients over the course of disease, normally up to 12–20 days, but in severe cases for longer periods of time [5–8]. Moreover, SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected up to months after symptom onset, and even after symptom resolution [5, 6, 9–15].
· INTRODUCTION — The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19 or nCoV) and other respiratory infections can be transmitted to clinicians involved in their care, particularly during aerosol-generating procedures (eg, endotracheal intubation and extubation). Infection control to limit transmission is an essential component of care in patients with suspected or documented COVID-19.
