New Delhi: Corona cases are constantly increasing in the country. At the same time, there is no cure for this disease. In such a situation, doctors are using many medicines and methods of treatment to cure the infected person. One such method is plasma therapy. In which a person infected with this virus is now cured and plasma is taken out of his body and put in the body of the infected patient. This therapy has been used on two patients infected with corona at Max Hospital in Delhi. One of which has started showing improvement in the patient.
Plasma therapy according to ICMR and DGCI guidelines
According to Max Hospital, this therapy is not new and it has been used for different diseases before. When the family came to know that this technology is being used in the US for the treatment of corona infected patients, they requested the hospital to correct it. After which the hospital decided to give plasma therapy to the patient under live saving protocol and under off-level indication. Plasma therapy is according to the guidelines of ICMR and DGCI.
Speaking to , Dr. Sandeep Budhiraja, Medical Director of Max Hospital said, "In this case, we have used it under the life-saving protocol that we call Off Level Indication. If there is any medicine that is used in the world Ho and its regulatory approval is found in the outside country like plasma is approved in USA and this information is available to the family. Come there and request us that we want to give this therapy to our patient because it has been used in these countries and it has benefited, we want to use it. We understand its risk and its benefits. So when the patient's family When this kind of request comes from the side, it is consigned to off-level Compassionate Ground and has its own approval process. It has an Ethics Committee Bengal are known for its approval then it can be given treatment. That as we have this therapy to the patient. "
At the same time, the family of the infected patient sought a donor for plasma. Donor cured of this infection 3 weeks ago. After this, plasma was removed from the dollar's body and given to the infected patient.
Donor himself arranged by patient's family
According to Dr. Sandeep Budhiraja, Medical Director of Max Hospital, "The donor in this case was also arranged by the patient's family. There was a woman who had a positive cry and she was completely healthy 3 weeks ago. And she Agreed to donate. After that we took 400ml plasma from them. The protocol is set by ICMR in the same way. And after that we got two. We have been on the patient. The plasma we got from that patient, we gave it to 2 patients, one died because she was very old, in the other patient the treatment is going on besides this therapy and she is still very stable and hopefully That he would be fine. "
The special thing is that two patients were given this plasma therapy but one patient died. According to doctors, the age of the other patient was very high and the situation was also bad.
What is plasma therapy?
In fact, a person who has been cured of an infection has immunity against the virus and after 3 weeks, it can be given to an infected person in the form of plasma so that his body starts increasing immunity. A person who is cured of a plasma infection is isolated from the blood. 400ml of plasma can be removed from the body of a person who is cured of an infection at one time. This 400ml plasma can be given to two infected patients.
Antibodies are made in the body of a healthy patient to fight the virus. Antibodies are proteins that can destroy or eliminate the virus. So if those antibodies are offered to a patient through plasma, then that antibody is the patient who can kill the virus present in his body. Plasma therapy is not a new therapy. Doctors believe that it is a dominant therapy that has also benefited and has been used in many viral infections.
Dr. Sandeep Budhiraja, Medical Director, Max Hospital, told that "the patient is very sick and seriously ill and as we know there is no medicine till coronavirus and no treatment is being done. Of which plasma therapy is a primary therapy. The advantage of this is that it has been used many times before and it is not that it is being used for the first time. Rul infections have occurred. This therapy has been used. It was used even when epidemic outbreak occurred in some countries. When Spanish blue occurred in 1918 and you will see it in history, it was also used. ''
In the US, this technique is being used to treat a corona infected patient. At the same time, the Indian Council for Medical Research and DCGI has also issued guidelines regarding plasma. On Wednesday, the review meeting was decided by the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi as per the guidelines of this therapy. At the same time, doctors believe that until this claim or vaccine is not available, people can be treated through this therapy and their lives can be saved.
