OT: COVID-19 CONVALESCENT PLASMA FOR TREATMENT OF HOSPITALIZEDPATIENTS WITH COVID-19
I just heard about this particular treatment a few days ago. It sounds
promising. ............ *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. {more} https://www.fda.gov/media/141479/dow...s%20COVID%2D19. -- Maggie |
