>>JENNIFER WAUGH: HAS DOCTORS AND RESEARCHERS WORK TO FIND A TREATMENT FOR COVID-19
PATIENTS, THEY ARE NOW ASKING
THOSE PATIENTS WHO HAVE
RECOVERED FROM
THE VIRUS TO DONATE PLASMA FOR
AN INVESTIGATION OF TREATMENT
CALLED
CONVALESCENT PLASMA. JOINING ME
NOW TO DISCUSS THIS TREATMENT
IS ASCENSION SAME VENGEANCE
INSTANCE, PULMONOLOGIST DOCTOR
ABUBAKAR BHATIA A GOOD MORNING
DOCTOR. THANK YOU FOR JOINING
US.
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME WOULD
YOU EXPLAIN HOW PLASMA CAN HELP
THESE PATIENTS RECOVER FROM
COVID-19.
THE COST OF CONVALESCENT PLASMA FROM RECOVERED PATIENTS IS NOT YOU IT’S BEEN TRIED
BEFORE THE SARS EPIDEMIC TO
SMALL EXTENT AND ALSO
IN THE AMONG OTHER ATTACKS.
THE IDEA IS PATIENTS WITH
RECURRENT COMPLETELY FROM A
COUP IN
19 IT SECTION. DEVELOP
ANTIBODIES AND YOU CAN CLICK
THE PLASMA FOR THOSE PATIENTS
WHO MEET THE CRITERIA WE CAN
USE THAT WAS NOT TO BE MESSED
IT WHICH WAS WHO ARE CRITICALLY
ILL SEE IF THAT HELPS OF THOSE
PATIENTS ARE KURDS FROM
THE ACTION.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO IT’S
INTERESTING THAT THE FAMILY OF
A 78 YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO CAUGHT
THE VIRUS LIVING AT A NURSING
HOME IN MACCLENNY ACTUALLY TOLD
US THAT THAT THIS WOMAN WAS BEING TREATED USING THIS METHOD AT
THE HOSPITAL. I KNOW BECAUSE OF
HIPPA AND PRIVACY RULES THAT
YOU CAN’T TALK SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT PATIENTS BUT IN GENERAL
COULD YOU TELL US WHAT KIND OF
SUCCESS THAT YOU’VE HAD SO FAR
USING THIS KIND OF METHOD.
>> IS TOO EARLY TO SELL OUT A
LOT OF OUR PATIENTS HAVE BEEN
CRITICALLY ILL FOR A USED A
STANDARD TREATMENTS THAT ARE
AVAILABLE
OUT THERE. A CONVALESCENT
PLASMA WOULD ISSUE A TREATMENT
ON TOP OF THE RIGHT TREATMENT
SO IT’S KIND OF TOO EARLY
TO TELL.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO IS THIS
FOR EVERYONE THAT INFECTED WITH
COVID-19 OR IS THIS JUST A VERY
VERY VERY ILL. HOW DO
YOU DECIDE.
>> SO THE VARIOUS CRITERIA AS
PART OF THIS
>> THE TRIAL THAT IS BEING DONE
NOW TO ASSESS THE EXPANDED
ACCESS TO COME LISTEN
PRESS SO.
>> GENERALLY SPEAKING THE
INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR PATIENTS
TO PARTICIPATE. IS FAIRLY BROAD BUT THEY HAVE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT RISK THAT VERY ARE
BREATHING A RELATED SYMPTOMS.
>> COULD THIS BE USED TO
DEVELOP A VACCINE.
>> LAST SEEN DEVELOPMENT IS
ENTIRELY AND THAT IS A
DIFFERENT
AND THE TECHNOLOGY USED THAT IS
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TO BUT THAT
IS THIS IS NOT THE INTENT OF
THIS TRIP.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: SO I’M I KNOW
THAT YOU COULD REALLY USE THE
PUBLIC’S HELP THEN AS YOU YOU
KNOW CONTINUE ON WITH THE EARLY
STAGES OF THIS PROCESS CAN
YOU EXPLAIN. HOW THE PUBLIC AND
HELP IS THERE ARE CERTAIN
REQUIREMENTS FOR THOSE WHO’VE
BEEN INFECTED WITH COVID-19.
>> ALL
SO THE CRITERIA FOR IS
THAT THE THEY HAVE TO CODE HAVE
RECOVERED COMPLETELY AND
ARE ASYMPTOMATIC AT LEAST 14
DAYS OUT FROM A THE TIME OF
SECTION AND IT DOES FEEL LIKE
THEY ARE.
COVERED THE ACTION MORE THAN
14 DAYS AGO. WE ARE ASKING
DONORS TO COME TO A SECTION
MEDICAL STATEMENTS DRIVE-THRU
FOR
FREE TESTING. I WANT THE
TESTING IS DONE AND THEY’RE
CONFIRMED IT, BUT IF THE INNER
FOR THOSE PATIENTS BLOOD WHICH
IS OUR LEAD PARTNER AND THEY
HAVE TO DO SOME PAPERWORK
AND NOT FROM THERE ON THE
PROCESS THAT WE LET THEIR
PLASMA ONCE THE LAST MONTH’S
COLLECTED WE LOOK AT THE
PATIENT COOL THAT WE HAVEN’T
RULED WAITING FOR THE LAST MAN
THAT’S THE ASSESSMENT OF THE
OR ASIAN AND THE LIVER THAT
LAST NIGHT AND THE START
OF PEOPLE.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: CAN YOU
EXPLAIN FOR THOSE WHO MIGHT BE
A LITTLE HESITANT BECAUSE
THEY’RE THINKING WELL HOW DO I
DONATE PLASMA AND DOES IT HURT
WHAT THAT
PROCESS INVOLVES.
>> ESSENTIALLY THE RUINATION OF
PLASMA WHICH IS A COMPONENT OF
BLOOD
IT IS SIMILAR TO BLOOD DONATION
THERE IS NO
YOU’RE GOING TO THEY’RE GOING
TO SEPARATE THE PLASMA FROM THE
BLOOD UH HUH
OVER CAUTIONS ARE STRICTLY
FOLLOW THE EXISTING THEM
CONFIRMED THAT THEY ARE THE
PROCESS IS NOT VERY DIFFERENT
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND FOR FOR A
VIEWER WHO MAY BE ON THE FENCE
ABOUT ABOUT THIS THAT HAS
RECOVERED FROM COVID-19 WELL
COULD YOU TELL THEM ABOUT HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS THAT THEY
DONATE PLASMA.
>> FOLKS WHO HAVE
RECURRENT ARE THE REALLY LUCKY
FOLKS LIKE MAJORITY, THE THE
CONTRACT COVID EVENT IN LOT OF
THEM TO RECOVER WITH MINIMAL
SOME THOSE UNFORTUNATELY THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF PATIENTS WHO
GET CRITICALLY ILL AND DESPITE
ALL THE TREATMENT THAT CONTINUE
TO SUFFER AND CONTINUE TO
WORSEN.
IF THE CURRENT THERE
CONSIDER LUCKY, IT WAS REALLY
REALLY APPRECIATE IF THEY WERE
ABLE TO HELP THESE
WERE CRITICALLY ILL AND FACING
A LOT
OF CHALLENGES.
