HRCT score 25/25
My brother tested covid positive on 5th may. Condition started deteriorating on 13th may and he was hospitalised.
He is in ICU since last 14 days on ventilation.
His HRCT score is 25/25. Doctors have suggested lungs transplant and ecmo support.
Ecmo support started from 1st June.
He is responding well to it.
Pulse is normal and spo2 is 75%
he needs to wait 60 days for lungs transplant.
Just wanted to know will he be able to make up till then. Really worried as 100% of his lungs are infected.
Currently he has been airlifted to Apollo Hyderabad from a private hospital in Patna.
Under ECMO support.
Covid report is still positive.
Age - 34 years, no history of previous illness.
WBC is 20000 and crp 186 d dimer 1380
