Watch.. an x-ray showing the difference between the lungs of a vaccinated corona patient and one who did not take the vaccine

Saint Louis University Hospital, America, published - on its Facebook page - a photo taken by one of its doctors showing the difference between the lungs of a vaccinated corona patient and one who did not receive the vaccine.

The picture - published by Doctor Ghassan Kamel - showed the lung of the unvaccinated in white and filled with the virus, while the lung of the vaccinator was less white, air flowed easily and free - to a large extent - of corona.

And the director of the hospital care unit said - in an exclusive interview with the American channel "KSDK" - that this picture mainly helps in distinguishing between the lung of a vaccinated corona patient and one who did not receive the vaccine, which reflects the value of taking vaccines now.

He added - commenting on the lung of the one who did not receive the vaccine - "It certainly will need at least oxygen and sometimes it requires more than just oxygen. You may need a ventilator or be stimulated by mechanical ventilation and anesthesia, mainly through life support devices."

"If you look at the picture of the patient who received the vaccine, when the lungs are filled with air in the X-ray, it looks black. You can also say that there is more black color in these than the other," he said, stressing that these people do not even need to go to the hospital when infected.

Kamel stressed the need to adhere to the precautionary measures and take the available vaccines, and said, "If you do not like the mask, you will not like the ventilator."

White clouds on the rays

In cases of normal acute pneumonia, fluid builds up in large amounts in the lung, which makes the tissues heavier and more rigid, and patients feel difficulty breathing as if they are resisting a force majeure.

This also applies to corona patients, but only in cases of critical and advanced pneumonia, which called Michael Pfeiffer - head of the pulmonology department at the German “Donostov” Hospital - to say that “it is very likely that a much smaller amount of fluid will accumulate in the lungs in The first stage of the emerging corona virus, compared to classic pneumonia.

In a statement to Spiegel Online, Dr. Pfeiffer believes that the CT scan images appear in the form of bright white clouds, which indicates fluid retention in the lung.

These areas are not as dense in patients with COVID-19 as they are in classic pneumonia.

Even in advanced cases, dark areas filled with air can be seen.

It is also interesting that the bright areas are found mainly on the edge of the lungs in the form of white clouds.

Dr. Pfeiffer hypothesizes that the second reason behind the lack of oxygen is that the near-normal breathing of Covid-19 patients is due to the "multiple foci of inflammation" that absorb unusually large amounts of blood.

At the same time, due to fluid buildup, it is impossible for oxygen to pass from the air into the blood.

Also, the healthy parts of the lung do not get enough blood, and therefore are not able to compensate for the lost oxygen, and the body’s reaction in this case is to increase the breathing rhythm, which is among the symptoms that doctors currently take to diagnose and evaluate critical cases.

Then, the only solution remains "artificial respiration, which saves lives (...), but if it is used too late, it has a negative effect on the development of the disease. At the same time, it means a great stress for the body."

Ventilator

A ventilator is a machine that provides mechanical ventilation by moving "oxygenated" air into the lungs, and can save a patient's life when a person cannot breathe properly, or when they cannot breathe on their own at all.

This device is not a cure for a disease, but it is used during treatment to stabilize the patient’s condition. For example, in the case of patients with the Corona virus, the ventilator does not treat the virus, but it allows the patient whose respiratory ability has declined to survive, until his body recovers from the virus and defeats it, or when Pharmacological treatments work.

The ventilator introduces oxygen into the lungs and expels carbon dioxide, and this includes using a tube that connects this device to the airways of the lung through the mouth or nose, and this is called "intubation", according to a previous report by Al Jazeera Net.

In some serious or long-term cases, the breathing tube is attached directly to the trachea through a small hole in the neck that is surgically opened.

The ventilator uses pressure to push "oxygenated" air into the lungs, and it needs electricity to run, and some types can run on a battery.
