Default OT: COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA FOR TREATMENT OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH COVID-19

I just heard about this particular treatment a few days ago. It sounds
promising.


Only to fools. Vaccination works much better.

*EMERGENCY USE AUTHORIZATION (EUA) OF COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA FOR
TREATMENT OF HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS WITH COVID-19*

Read this Fact Sheet for information about COVID-19 convalescent plasma.
Talk to your health care provider if you have questions. It is your choice
to accept treatment with COVID-19 convalescent plasma or stop it at any
time.

*WHAT IS COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA?*

The blood from people who recover from COVID-19 contains substances called
antibodies, which are capable of fighting the virus that causes the
illness. For some other diseases caused by respiratory viruses, giving
people the liquid portion of blood that contains these antibodies, called
plasma, obtained from those who have recovered from the virus, may lead to
more rapid improvement of the disease. Patients with COVID-19 may improve
faster if they receive plasma from those who have recovered from COVID-19,
because it may have the ability to fight the virus that causes COVID-19.


*HOW IS COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA GIVEN?*

You will be given plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, from a person
who has recovered from COVID-19. It will be given into one of your veins,
using a sterile single use needle, and will be given over the course of up
to about one to two hours. Approximately 200 mL (a little less than 8
ounces) of plasma will be given in an initial infusion. Additional
infusions of plasma may occur throughout your hospital stay if the
treating physician determines that additional treatments are clinically
justified.
