Take Care of Your Respiratory Health
Since the beginning of the pandemic we’ve been learning about ways infection by SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, affects the lungs.
Terms now familiar to non-clinicians include dyspnea (shortness of breath), acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) , which causes fluid to leak into the lungs, and intubation, when a tube is inserted down the throat and connected to a ventilator to mechanically support breathing.
In some COVID-19 cases, infection decreases the supply of oxygen needed for the brain, organs and body tissues to function properly. Some people with COVID-19 develop pneumonia, which inflames air sacs and may fill the lungs with fluid or pus.
