I am a doctor and here is what is then for Trump
This is what the following days will be like President Trump.
Yesterday, we learned that the president and the first lady had been positive tested for Covid-19. At the end of the day, there were pictures of the Presidency on Marine 1 to bring to the Medical Center of Walter Reed in Bethesda, in Maryland for treatment.
As an emergency doctor, I took care of the spectrum patients of the gravity of COVID-19. From completely asymptomatic, throughout the intensive treatment unit and unfortunately sometimes dead, this disease affects people very differently. This is what the president can expect it to be treated at the hospital for Covid-19. Read on and ensure your health and health of others, do not miss theseWithout signs that you have already had coronavirus.
Follow-up of vital signs
Patients admitted for COVID-19 are linked to a monitor allowing the medical team to receive ongoing statistics on their heart rate, blood pressure and level of oxygenation. With any viruses or infection, heart rate can be high due to dehydration, fever and / or stress of the virus itself. Blood pressure should also be monitored, as the decrease in blood pressure can be a sign that infection is getting worse.
Additional oxygenation
It has been found that patients with COVID-19 have had severely low levels of blood oxygen. A team at Mount Sinai in New Yorkfound an explanation for that. Covid-19 causes a breakdown of the blood vessels in the lungs, allowing the blood to return to the body without oxygenating. Patients sometimes need oxygen administered in the nose, increasing the amount of oxygen in the air they breathe. In some cases, patients must have a tube placed in the trachea to deliver oxygen directly to the lungs.

Intravenous fluids
Intravenous fluids are very common for patients admitted to the hospital. It is imperative not to be dehydrated during the fight against the virus, because dehydration can encourage organs, such as kidneys, to stop operation. Viruses can cause severe reactions in the body that causes a leak of normal fluids in the body in the skin and other tissues. This can reduce blood pressure, which can negatively affect organs. Additional fluids are given to help maintain normal blood pressure and maintain appropriate organs.
X-rays
One of the main determinants of the serious results of COVID-19 is the appearance of X-rays of pneumonia in both lungs. The president will have X-rays taken throughout his stay at the hospital to monitor any aggravation symptoms.
Lab work
Although not a direct assessment of aggravation of diseases, the President will have many different laboratory tests at the hospital. Some laboratories were found to aggravate diseases. These laboratories can help the President's team to determine if the serious known inflammation of COVID-19 affects it.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an important vitamin that we receive from the sun and fortified dairy products. It is an important vitamin in maintaining normal levels of calcium and magnesium that improves bone health. It is also an integral part of the immune system because there are proteins formed by vitamin D thanare thought to help help the body fight viruses. The additional therapy of vitamin D, as in the case of the President, is used to help induce the body's own corps virus properties.

Zinc
For most people, the additional zinc is not considered a treatment of any infection, but rather as an additive in the drops of cough. Zinc is immensely important in the body's ability to fight against infection. Zinc is needed for many enzymes in the body that help cell growth, as well as maintaining DNA / RNA. With increased zinc in the body, there isAn increase in certain types of proteins that help the body fight viral infections.
Famotidine
Although a medicinal product used in the treatment of stomach burns, there is some evidence that famotidine is useful in the treatment of COVID-19. Patients who received famotidine had a reduction in overall mortality compared to those who did not take the medicine. Although the mechanism of this is not yet known, a current hypothesis is that it reduces the response of the body to the virus. It is known that patients with bad results of COVID-19 have experienced a process called "cytokine storm". It has been shown that minimizing this process in the body decreasing the negative effects of COVID-19.

Remesivir
If the president has aggravated CVIV-19 symptoms, such as the decrease in oxygenation, it can be placed on remesivir. This medicine, which has been granted an emergency authorization by the FDA,Was found To shorten the rest of the hospital many patients with CVIV-19. Although researchers are still trying to determine exactly why this medicine works on patients with COVID-19, it is believed that the virus is reproduced.
Steroids
These anti-inflammatory drugs must be used appropriately in any infection. Steroids can reduce the body's ability to combat acute infections, but at the same time, they can reduce inflammation in the body. If necessary, steroids can be used to help the lungs work better by reducing inflammation in them.
