In the Rostov region, 188 patients with coronavirus infection are connected to artificial lung ventilation devices. This was reported by the Government of the region.
According to Rospotrebnadzor, 14 infected are on invasive mechanical ventilation. Their condition is assessed as serious, so they were put into a state of artificial coma. As long as their bodies fight the disease, medical equipment will provide them with everything they need to live.
Another 174 people receive oxygen non-invasively. Their lungs are not so badly affected, so they only need a little support from the apparatus through the mask or sludge and mouthpiece.
Over the entire period of the pandemic in the Don region, 86,339 thousand people have already become ill with coronavirus. Of these, 3,987 Donetsk residents were unable to overcome the dangerous infection.
