A new method of treating COVID-19 has been approved in 30 countries
A new method for treating COVID-19 has been discovered.
According to Gadin.Net, the blood of patients with coronavirus was cleaned with a filter filled with beads that act like a sponge.
A US-made device called CytoSorb purifies patients' blood and eliminates potentially toxic compounds. The holes in the beads capture harmful cytokines in the blood, while smaller and beneficial particles such as antibodies filter them out.
Thanks to the device, more than 200 people in 30 countries have been cured of COVID-19.
Simon Clark, an associate professor of microbiology at Reading University, says this type of treatment is beneficial: “Time is very important for patients with significant cytokine reactions. Medications can simply reduce the reaction. Filtration is not a guaranteed method, but the sooner it is applied to the patient, the better the result.
