The Dhaka Times Desk Lungs are the main target of corona virus patients. Corona patients can suffer long-term lung and heart damage due to this lung infection. But for many, it improves over time, according to a new study.
Austrian researchers said that the lungs damaged by the corona virus, even in the case of corona patients receiving ventilator treatment, the lungs can overcome the damage by themselves in just 3 months.
The researchers also said that even after being discharged from the hospital, corona patients may suffer from common symptoms, but these symptoms disappear after 12 weeks.
A study was conducted on more than 150 corona patients in several hospitals in Austria. These patients were re-examined 6, 12, and 24 weeks after hospital discharge. Every time patients undergo clinical tests, lab tests, analysis of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide levels and various tests on lung function.
At 6 weeks post-coronavirus examination, more than half of the patients were found to have persistent symptoms such as shortness of breath or cough. CT scan reports showed lung damage in 88 percent of patients. 47% of patients have respiratory problems and 15% of patients have cough.
On the other hand, after 12 weeks, 39 percent of the patients had respiratory problems and 15 percent had cough problems. On the other hand, lung damage was found in 56 percent of patients.
The researchers have not yet completed the 24-week follow-up. However, researchers believe that once the lungs begin to repair themselves, patients are unlikely to suffer permanent lung damage.
Dr. member of the research team in this regard. Sabina Sahanik said, 'The results of the study prove that the lungs can indeed repair themselves. The bad news in our study is that lung damage persists weeks after recovery from the virus. On the other hand, the good news is that this damage to the lungs decreases with time. Which suggests that the lungs have a repair mechanism of their own.'
The paper was presented this week at the European Respiration Society International Congress.
