Russian scientists from the Siberian State Medical University and the Tomsk National Research Medical Center have developed a new method of treating respiratory failure in patients with coronavirus. This is reported in an article published in the EXCLI Journal. The research is briefly described in a press release on the Godnauki.rf website.
Patients who have experienced acute respiratory distress syndrome associated with viral pneumonia from COVID-19 may develop long-term respiratory failure. The known therapies sometimes fail to cure the condition.
In a new work, Russian scientists have proposed the use of short-term inhalation of a gas mixture containing xenon and oxygen. The effectiveness of this method was determined using computed tomography, psychometry and other methods. Scientists found that the patients had increased tidal volume, decreased respiration and heart rate, and increased oxygen levels in arterial blood.
