The resuscitator of the hospital of St. George Anton Georgiev spoke about the rescue of seriously ill patients with coronavirus, treatment of patients and lung training. In his diary, the doctor, who also had coronavirus, also identified risk groups.
–
The doctor recalled that, since the virus infects the lungs, all further pathology begins due to a lack of oxygen, as a result of which all organs suffer. Moreover, in people with asthma and bronchitis, the disease is more difficult, since their gas exchange is impaired initially. It is also difficult for people with diabetes and obesity, smokers.

“I will give you advice on what to do to avoid the ventilator in case of illness. You need to blow a regular balloon. Several times a day for 5-10 minutes. With trained lungs, breathing exercises it will be easier to transfer the disease. If you get infected, then this training also makes sense, “- quotes an excerpt from the diary of the physician” KP Petersburg.

People in hospitals are given antibiotics, antiviral drugs, they are given infusion therapy, respiratory therapy, and droppers are given. Blood plasma is needed mainly for severe patients. When patients are brought to the intensive care unit, all of them are immediately connected to oxygen, some have to be transferred to mechanical ventilation.
–
“Severe patients have a high temperature, a high respiratory rate of 30 times per minute or more, blue lips and cough. Due to a lack of oxygen, some have a blue nose, blue fingers, and the whole patient is slightly bluish, their skin color is even closer to gray, “the resuscitator writes.
–
“Some people can speak, while others suffocate so much that they can’t utter a word. We immediately transfer them to the ventilator. They have shortness of breath of 35-40 breaths per minute. A person simply does not have strength. They wheeze, breathe loudly, with a look seek help. In their eyes is the fear of death, “Georgiev gives details.
