The majority of Indian Guidelines for treating Covid-19 is based on Recovery Trial which did not consider CT scan scoring and Cytokine storm score(CSs). It was judgemental based on Oxygen requirement / Mechanical Ventilation. It’s not for the Current Variant which so virulent and aggressive in India.
Authorities need to reconsider Hypoxia as being major criteria for the initiation of steroids. It should be based on CT scan score, CSs and duration of Illness rather than Hypoxia alone.
People are criticising Indian Physicians for using steroids. Variant B1.617.2 has entered the UK. We shall watch how well they handle despite 30% of them being already vaccinated.
Any comments are welcome.
