Case series of nebulizing r‐tPA for COVID‐19 induced acute respiratory distress syndrome
Abstract Fibrin deposition in the alveolar spaces during pulmonary involvement of COVID‐19 impairs the O2/CO2 exchange and leads to respiratory symptoms. In this report, Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (r‐tPA) has been nebulized to 3 critically ill COVID‐19 patients in order to resolve the...

description | Abstract Fibrin deposition in the alveolar spaces during pulmonary involvement of COVID‐19 impairs the O2/CO2 exchange and leads to respiratory symptoms. In this report, Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (r‐tPA) has been nebulized to 3 critically ill COVID‐19 patients in order to resolve the deposited fibrin while avoiding the risk of bleeding. Based on these observations, nebulization of r‐tPA may be a potential therapeutic approach and new area of research for future studies. |
