3. What is covid-19?
Covid -19 is an infectious disease caused by a
new recently discovered novel Corona Virus.

4. How many people develop complications
from the coronavirus disease?
• About 80% of confirmed cases recover from the
disease without any serious complications.
• Many of these complications may be caused by a
condition known as cytokine release syndrome or
a cytokine storm. This is when an infection
triggers your immune system to flood your
bloodstream with inflammatory proteins called
cytokines.
• They can kill tissue and damage your organs,
including your lungs, heart, and kidneys.

5. COMPLICATION OF CORONA
Acute Respiratory failure , Pneumonia &
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)
Acute cardiac injury
Acute kidney injury
Acute liver injury
Blood clots
Reabdomyolysis

7. COMPLICATION OF
CORONA
ACUTE RESPIRATORY
FAILURE
Acute respiratory failure, lungs
might not pump enough oxygen
into your blood or might not take
enough carbon dioxide out. Both
of these problems can happen at
the same time.
Serious symptoms:
 Difficulty breathing or
shortness of breath
 Chest pain or pressure
 Loss of speech or movement

MANAGEMENT

9. COMPLICATION
OF CORONA
PNEUMONIA
Pneumonia cases was the
first sign of the new
coronavirus in China. In
the air sacs lungs
become inflamed,
making it harder to
breathe.

10. COMPLICATION
OF CORONA
PNEUMONIA
• Scientists who have
studied images of
very ill COVID-19
patients’ lungs found
them filled with fluid,
pus, and cell debris.
• In those cases,
patients’ bodies
weren’t able to
transfer oxygen to
the blood to keep
their systems working
properly.

11. COMPLICATION OF
CORONA
ACUTE KIDNEY INJURY
• This doesn’t seem to be a
common complication, but if
it happens, it’s serious.
• If your kidneys stop working
properly, doctors will start
treatment to stop the
damage.
• Dialysis (in which a machine
filters your blood) until your
kidneys get back to working
normally. But sometimes, the
damage doesn’t heal and
people get chronic kidney
disease, which would need to
be managed long term.

12. COMPLICATION OF
CORONA
ACUTE CARDIAC INJURY
COVID-19 can cause cardiac
injury even in patients without
underlying heart conditions, and
have fatal consequences for people
with cardiovascular disease,
according to a review of studies.
Studies of people in China who
were hospitalized with COVID-19
found that some developed heart
problems, including arrhythmias.
But it’s not clear whether the virus
itself affected patients’ hearts, or if
the damage happened simply
because the illness caused such
stress on their bodies overall.

13. COMPLICATION OF
CORONA
• Acute liver injury and liver
failure are life-threatening
complications. (“Acute” means
it happens suddenly.)
ACUTE LIVER INJURY
Research shows that the
most seriously ill
patients run the greatest
risk of liver damage.
Scientists aren’t sure yet
whether the virus harms
the liver or if it happens
for another reason.

14. COMPLICATION
OF CORONA
• If the process isn’t stopped, you can
go into what’s called septic shock.
• If your blood pressure drops too
much, septic shock can be fatal.
• Septic shock affected some people
with COVID-19 in China.
SEPTIC SHOCK
Sepsis happens when
your body’s reaction
to an infection
misfires.
The chemicals
released into your
bloodstream to battle
the illness don’t
trigger the right
response, and instead
your organs are
damaged.

15. SEPTIC SHOCK MANAGEMENT

16. COMPLICATION
OF CORONA
Blood clotting in major arteries and
veins has been reported clots can break
off and damage multiple organ by
stopping blood flow.
BLOOD CLOTS
A Dutch study found
that nearly a third of
people who were in
the intensive care unit
(ICU) for COVID-19
had blood clots. Some
were in patients’ legs
(deep vein thrombosis
or DVT), lungs
(pulmonary embolism
or PE), or arteries. But
none of the patients
had DIC.

17. BLOOD CLOT MANAGEMENT

18. COMPLICATION OF
CORONA
RHABDOMYOLYSIS
This is an extremely rare
condition, but it’s one
COVID-19 researchers
are watching.
In rhabdomyolysis, your
muscles break down and
tissue dies. As cells fall
apart, a protein called
myoglobin floods your
bloodstream.
If your kidneys can’t
flush it out of your blood
quickly enough, it can
overwhelm them and
cause death.

19. COMPLICATION OF CORONA

21. HOW DEADLY
IS COVID-19 ? According to a press release by WHO
director – general on February
17,2020.?
COVID-19 is not as deadly as whun
corona virus including SARS and MERS.
• 80% of patients have mild disease
and will recover.
• About 14% of cases, the virus carries
severe disease, including pneumonia
and shortness of breath.
• About 5% of patient have critical
disease including respiratory failure,
septic shock and muti organ failure.
• 2% of reported cases, the virus is
fatal, and the risk of death increases
the older you are.

22. CORONA A
DEADLY DISEASE
• COVID-19 can be deadly for some
people.
• Older adults and people with
existing health conditions
are more at risk of serious
complications, which can be life
threatening.
• Roughly 1 in 5 people experience
serious illness.
• Although for most people COVID-
19 causes only mild illness, it can
make some people very ill. More
rarely, the disease can be fatal.
Older people, and those with pre-
existing medical conditions (such
as high blood pressure, heart
problems or diabetes) appear to
be more vulnerable

23. CORONAVIRUS-VS-FLU

24. CORONA A DEADLY DISEASE
• At present, the transmission rate of SARS-CoV-2 is a
little higher than that of the pandemic 2009
H1N1 influenza virus, but SARS-CoV-2 is at least 10
times as deadly. From the data that is available now,
COVID-19 seems a lot like severe acute respiratory
syndrome (SARS), though it’s less likely than SARS to
be severe.
