Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences proposed a new technique for the treatment of coronavirus
During a meeting with President Putin, the famous Russian pulmonologist, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Alexander Chuchalin, said that with such an infection, so-called chemical pneumonitis can develop, and in this situation other treatment methods are needed. Academician Chuchalin suggested using a mixture of helium and oxygen oxide. But this is still a working hypothesis of treatment.
Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences has proposed a new method for the treatment of coronavirus - without artificial lung ventilation (IVL).
Alexander G. Chuchalin in the scientific world has a reputation not only as a world-famous scientist, but also as a person with a rare flair for new effective methods of therapy. At the same time, Chuchalin has a talent for delivering information about breakthroughs to senior leaders. So now he explained to Putin on the fingers the meaning of the technique, which (so far only theoretically) can be used in the treatment of severe forms of COVID infection. According to him, with chemical pneumonitis, which develops in a number of patients, hyaluronic acid is poured into the space of the alveoli and oxygen starvation develops, to which the vessels respond with spasm and blood clots. Therefore, notes Chuchalin, artificial lung ventilation may be ineffective, and other methods are needed.
Chuchalin recalled the Nobel Prize that Kapitsa and Landau received for helium. Helium can relieve oxygen starvation, and spasm of blood vessels relieves nitric oxide. According to the academician, today research using helium is carried out on the basis of the Research Institute of Emergency Medicine «Sklifosovsky Institute».
Experts remind that so far there is not a single methodology and not a single drug with proven effectiveness against COVID, but doctors around the world are trying dozens of different treatment regimens with drugs that have to be used off-lable, that is, not according to indications. Therefore, heliox can be considered only as one of the possible support options for respiratory failure. It remains to be hoped that Academician Chuchalin again found a new direction in the treatment of complications of coronavirus infection, which can be encouraging.
