Een studie toont nu aan dat niet de gevreesde ‘cytokine storm’ verantwoordelijk is voor de Corona doden maar wel secundaire bacteriële longontstekingen. Dat is een bacteriële ontsteking die vooral veroorzaakt wordt door de mechanische beademing, 50% ontwikkeld die longontsteking. Als het niet lukt om die te genezen is de sterftegraad erg groot.
Dat toont weeral aan dat de beademing zelf veel te dodelijk is om bruikbaar te zijn en dat er misschien niet agressief genoeg werd behandeld tegen bacteriële infecties.

A recent study found that secondary bacterial pneumonia, rather than the much-discussed “cytokine storm,” is a significant factor in COVID-19-related fatalities. Almost half of the patients who required mechanical ventilation support were affected by this secondary bacterial infection.
By applying machine learning to analyze medical records, the researchers found that those who recovered from secondary pneumonia were more likely to survive, whereas unresolved cases increased mortality risk.
The study, which challenges the cytokine storm theory, emphasizes the importance of preventing and aggressively treating secondary bacterial pneumonia in critically ill patients.
The investigators found nearly half of patients with COVID-19 develop a
secondary ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia.
“The importance of bacterial superinfection of the lung as a contributor to death in patients with COVID-19 has been underappreciated because
most centers have not looked for it or only look at outcomes in terms of presence or absence of bacterial superinfection, not whether treatment is successful or not,”
