The George Washington University Hospital uses a VR 360-degree simulation to show how the corona virus affects the lungs of a sick patient.
In the video above, the areas destroyed by the virus are colored yellow. It is the organ of a 50 year old man. In a podcast from the hospital, Keith Mortman, specialist in thoracic surgery, said: The patient was short of breath and had to be intubated.
However, a normal ventilator was no longer sufficient. However, the man’s lung performance was so poor that his blood was channeled out of the body to oxygenate it outside and then return it to the body. The process will called extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. (mz)
