| Summary: | Ceruti et al. describe in their article very low standard half saturation pressures (P<sub>50</sub>) in COVID-19 patients, calculated with the Dash et al. equations. By using the Hill equation and Severinghaus‘ coefficients we obtained normal values. The authors who do not present a pathophysiological cause for their results should explain this discrepancy. Independent of the absolute values a continuous moderate decrease of P<sub>50</sub> in the surviving patients might be of clinical importance. |
