Hypoxaemia in the early stage of COVID-19: prevalence of physical or biochemical factors?

Gurgen Harutyunyan et al. Eur Respir Rev. .

Abstract

The ventilation–perfusion mismatch can't explain the high PaCO2–PETCO2 gap in the setting of COVID-19 induced hypoxaemia and cannot be considered as the sole pathophysiological basis for the treatment in the early stage of COVID-19 https://bit.ly/3BKmGxJ
