This document summarizes information about COVID-19, including common symptoms, effects on pregnancy, potential complications, treatment recommendations, and antiviral treatments. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, cough, fever, chills and fatigue. Pregnant women are at higher risk for severe illness and preterm birth from COVID-19. Complications can include acute respiratory distress syndrome, arrhythmia, and multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children. Treatment is supportive and may include ventilation, corticosteroids, antivirals like remdesivir, and immunoglobulins or other drugs for cytokine storm.

5. Effect on pregnancy
Pregnancy also puts you at a higher risk for complications from COVID-19.
The CDCTrusted Source reports that pregnant women are more likely to experience severe
COVID-19 illness than nonpregnant women.
For instance, pregnant women entered the intensive care unit (ICU) at nearly three times the
rate of nonpregnant women. Mortality rates for pregnant women are also higher.
According to a study from September 2020Trusted Source, women with COVID-19 are also
more likely to have a preterm birth than women without COVID-19.

6. complications
•acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)
•irregular heart rate (arrhythmia)
•cardiovascular shock
•kidney injury or kidney failure (including needing dialysis)
•severe muscle pain
•fatigue
•heart damage or heart attack
•multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C); this is also known as pediatric
multisystem inflammatory syndrome (PMIS)

7. Rx
Supportive
Airway breathing and circulation
Ventilator if po2 less then 55 percent
Isolation
Correction of electrolyte balance
Correct temperature with antipyretics and cold sponging
Corticosteroid (dexamethasone) to decrease inflammation
Antihistamine ( citrazine)

8. advise
Quarantie for 14 days
Drink plenty of water
Wear mask
Handwash for 20 seconds

9. Treatment
(antivirals)
On October 22, 2020, the FDATrusted Source approved its first COVID-19 treatment, the
medication remdesivir (Veklury). It’s available by prescription for people ages 12 years and
older who’ve been hospitalized. It’s administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion.
Immunoglobin like bamlanivimab, can be use.
Toclizumab and anakinra for cytokine storm
