César Carozzi: “Covid-19’s aftermath could last for months” | Aftermath | covid19 | covid | coronavirus | pandemic | hyperbaric medicine | LIFETIME

It is estimated that more than 10 million Peruvians have suffered COVID-19 in the past year and the number continues to increase. Much has been said about prevention and vaccines, but little is known about how to treat the effects this virus can have on patients. Dr. César Carozzi spoke to Perú21TV for more information on recovery treatments.

César Carozzi, general surgeon and hyperbaric medicine specialist at the Ricardo Palma Clinic, points out that when the virus enters the body, it prevents the supply of oxygen to the cells by various mechanisms and a generalized hypoxia occurs. Under these conditions, inflammation, pneumonitis and severe respiratory failure are generated.

Dr. Carozzi is hyperbaric medicine, which has proven to be very effective as a post-covid treatment.When the person enters the hyperbaric chamber and inhales medical oxygen under high pressure, their body will saturate 20 times more oxygen than under normal conditions, reducing inflammation and repairing the damaged tissues. This speeds up your healing and recovery process.Explains the doctor.

It should be noted that before undergoing this treatment, the patient should undergo a medical evaluation to determine if it is the most appropriate therapy for the rehabilitation process after COVID-19.
