COVID-19 Patient Interventions

Journal References for COVID-19 Papers on Resuscitation

This study is the first to report the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe COVID-19 illness and in-hospital cardiac arrest. Performing CPR on COVID-19 patients poses significant risk to healthcare workers due to intubation and chest compressions creating opportunities for transmission to occur at a higher level. Evaluating the success of CPR in patients with cardiac arrest is extremely relevant.

Convalescent plasma (filtered plasma containing antibodies from recovered individuals) is a treatment option with ongoing research. It can be used as treatment for severely ill patients or as prophylaxis for highly susceptible individuals. While many patients show marked improvement in symptoms, studies involving CP also include other treatment, so the sole effectiveness of CP transfusion is yet unclear. Recovered individuals are encouraged to donate their plasma for research and recovery.
