In intensive care units, severe cases of COVID-19 often receive breathing support.
The coronavirus pandemic has caused many thousands of people, including Britain’s prime minister, to need treatment in intensive care units, where severe cases of COVID-19 often receive breathing support.
Life support is reserved for patients suffering from severe respiratory failure resulting from the lungs being affected by the virus. British data from 2,621 patient admissions to intensive care up to April 3, showed that 73 percent were men, with an average age of 60. In COVID-19 cases, it is the lungs which come under attack, with patients struggling to get enough oxygen, often deteriorating very quickly as a result.
If that does not work, then medical staff with turn to mechanical ventilation, which requires the patient to be sedated heavily.
