  • Does President Trump Have COVID Pneumonia? How severe is his illness?
    How severe is President Trump’s COVID illness?
    Does he have COVID Pneumonia?
    As a pulmonary & critical care doctor, I’m watching President Trump's medical team, including Dr. Sean Conley, give a press conference. His medical team includes 3 pulmonary & critical care doctors, 2 infectious disease doctors, & more. Unfortunately, Dr. Conley is choosing to withhold certain medical details.
    So in this video, I will take what he is saying, with what information is being given, & do my best to read between the lines so that people can have a real understanding of what is going on here with President Trump.
    We want to know, does he have COVID pneumonia?
    And I will also try to classify the severity of his COVID illness. Then, at the end of this video, I will discuss what this means for President Trump’s health moving forward.
    What constitutes mild illness, vs. moderate illness, vs. severe illness, vs. critical illness is still very much a grey area. Generally speaking, someone who has symptoms but is not short of breath, & does not have low oxygen levels, is mild COVID. Moderate illness is characterized by shortness of breath and/or lower oxygen levels. Evidence of viral pneumonia is seen on chest x-ray or CT scan of the lungs or even ultrasound of the lungs. Severe illness is characterized by someone who is having trouble breathing & consistently requires extra oxygen & or ventilatory support.
    Then there is a critical illness when patients have either ARDS or hypotension & require either high-flow oxygen or mechanical ventilation. Defining the severity of illness is hard to do. And this also makes it tricky in terms of what medicine to give. For example, these studies show dexamethasone, a steroid type, reduces mortality in moderate and severe diseases but not mild diseases. But, what defines mild vs. moderate vs. severe disease? The rationale behind giving dexamethasone is that it can suppress inflammation within the body, so the hope is that it will suppress the inflammation within the lungs.
    For COVID, we give dexamethasone in either IV or pill form, and it's 6 mg once a day, and we give it for a total duration of 10 days. One of the side effects of steroids is that patient’s blood sugar levels become higher, so hyperglycemia. And that is why we usually have to counteract that by giving patients insulin. And when you give insulin, sometimes the patient’s blood sugar, meaning blood glucose, drops too low, known as hypoglycemia. So when we give dexamethasone, we check blood sugar levels by fingerstick every 4 or 6 hours. At the press conference, they mentioned nothing about this. But if his blood sugars are out of whack, they would not be talking about discharge planning.
    But stepping back and looking at this from a bird’s eye view, where does Trump lie on this spectrum of COVID illness. Right now, he is not requiring supplemental oxygen. What would the progression of his illness look like if he were to have clinical deterioration? Well, typically, this entails stepping up his oxygen therapy, so 2 L NC, maybe 3, 4, or 5 L NC. If that is still not enough oxygen, maybe an oxygen face mask or something called a high-flow nasal cannula. These devices provide a lot more oxygen than a nasal cannula.
    If these are still not enough, that’s when you start talking about mechanical ventilation. Either non-invasive mechanical ventilation, meaning a Bipap mask, or a bi-level mask. Or the patient might need invasive mechanical ventilation, meaning a breathing tube connected to a breathing machine. Often, these patients require vasopressor support, meaning IV medications are given when the blood pressure is too low. So that would be the sickest of the sick. It’s the patients who are on mechanical ventilation, a breathing tube requiring 100% oxygen. Sometimes though, even that is not enough, so some patients get ECMO, which is extreme. And sometimes, despite us doing all of these things, patients still die. That is just the reality of this disease.
    Currently, President Trump has to saturate 98% on room air, which is good. And this is to be believed because you see him in that the video of him; he is not in respiratory distress, not requiring supplemental oxygen, he is not cyanotic. But the important thing to keep in mind is that patients with COVID can look like they are doing fine. They can have an improvement in their symptoms. They can improve their oxygenation. But, within hours, they clinically deteriorate to the point of requiring mechanical ventilation, especially when the illness's inflammatory phase becomes very prominent, meaning the cytokine storm that develops. Typically around 7-10 days.

      JAD I totally agree. That’s why I don’t want to see him discharged no matter how much he wants to be. However, he’s surrounded by yes people unfortunately so I won’t be surprised if he gets out. But given the nature of Covid (yo-yo, wax and wane symptoms and that it tends to really rear it ugly head and kick into high gear in the second week), despite these amazing treatments, he has no business to be discharged at this time. They need to chill and monitor him in hospital for the next week and a half. Besides that it will keep him “behaving” and “resting” somewhat in an isolation fashion which I’m sure if he gets to the Whitehouse he’ll start to back peddle and risk spreading the virus willy nilly throughout the Whitehouse.

This virus would give me false hopes as I sometimes feel that I’ve improved then at night I would feel really bad. I only had fever on day 1 and felt good during the day until the 5th day. So when people are saying Trump is better already I’ll be like I’ll give it 2 weeks it’s either he gets better or his health deteriorates but for now, we really can’t tell

If the docs gave out more complete details this doc would not need to do his video series! He's doing us a favor. He gives us background info, both the possible mild and severe outcomes. Because he hasn't seen the details he's giving us the multiple possibilities. There's no propaganda here. It's all medical.
      This video series is not interfering with the "rest & treatment he so much deserves"! His "very hectic schedule" wouldn't lead to fever, low blood ox, need for experimental treatments, steroids, and a positive COVID diagnosis Trump himself announced. That would lead to fatigue. But he seems to not get fatigued with his schedule such that he can play a lot of golf.
      "the CDC downgraded this" please define 'this'. Do you mean Trump's case, or COVID-19? Whichever you meant, could you please provide a reference link?
      "Not every symptom is COVID-19 related". True. COVID has multiple symptoms, including fever, low blood ox, fatigue, and so on, plus a positive lab test. All of these combined result in a COVID diagnosis. Which has resulted in treatment for COVID, such as the experimental stuff he's getting, steroids, supplemental oxygen, and other treatments common to COVID patients. If he didn't have COVID he wouldn't be getting these treatments. Here's another example. Lupus has 14 major symptoms, symptoms common to other diseases or ailments. If someone presents with 4 of them they get a diagnosis of Lupus! (The 4 of 14 was true when my sister was diagnosed years ago; a more specific way to diagnose Lupus may have developed over the years--I haven't followed the research since she died of it.)

This doctor does not have any actual clinical information on Trump's case, therefore he is only surmising and putting his 'opinion' forward.

    • @mariespi96
      @mariespi96 3 роки тому +21

      I know 2 people who were breathing fine but had a fever. They were told to take tylenol for the fever and sent home. They were told to come back if they had trouble breathing. One of them, his wife called me to complain that he was not quarantining. That he was sleeping in the living room instead of the bedroom. He told me he couldn't breathe while laying down. I told him, "Go back to the hospital then." He said "They're just going to send me back home because while I'm there, I'm breathing fine but when I come home and lay down, I can't breathe. Also, I'm afraid if I stop breathing, no one will even know I'm dying." I told him, "Prop yourself up with pillows and sleep sitting up on the sofa." And she can stay in the other bedroom. Not your bedroom. Open all the windows to ventilate the house. Go outside if you can during the day while she cleans and disinfects the whole house." I had found a bottle of Lysol at Walmart...limit 2 and I gave them one because they had not been able to find any. They told him to take Vitamin D & C. I've heard zinc is good too. It took him several weeks to recuperate.
      The other person I did not find out about until after they had passed away. His wife needed to disinfect the whole house so I gave her the other bottle of Lysol. I told her to put some in the wash when she washed his clothes. He only had high pressure and he was overweight...both of these people are males in their 50's. One lived. One died. May he rest in peace. 🙏
      The average American does notget the presidential treatment. They're told to take tylenol and sent home. Unless, they're having trouble breathing. And certainly not given any experimental treatments. They just tell you to go home...

I am sure the doctors are much more cautious. As far as I know a Oxygen level of 93, needs watching, but it's far from serious. As the doc said, Trump refused treatment for it, but he recovered anyway.
