Ivermectin: The jury is still out on this medicine

Although Ivermectin is generally tolerated at moderate doses, side-effects could increase as the doses are increased; higher concentrations of Ivermectin is needed to be administered in patients’ lungs for it to be effective against the virus, said Dr Jagadish Hiremath, medical director at Ace Multi-Speciality Hospital. “We have to wait for a more conclusive clinical trial on a large and diverse subset of the population, which will give us clarity on its usage,” he said.

High incidence of 'barotrauma events' in critical COVID-19 cases

It is caused by a pressure-related change in body compartment gas volume
A study by a team of doctors from a dedicated tertiary care COVID-19 centre in Bengaluru involving 410 critically ill COVID-19 patients on respiratory support has reported a high incidence (9.3%) of barotrauma events in patients. This is both on mechanical ventilation or other forms of respiratory support.
Barotrauma is tissue injury caused by a pressure-related change in body compartment gas volume, similar to tearing of the lung tissue, which leads to collection of air around the lungs. This air can also push its way and extend outside to below the skin surfaces.
