Summary
This study tested a blood-filtering treatment called plasma exchange in 21 adults with severe COVID-19 and breathing problems. The goal was to remove harmful inflammatory substances from the blood to improve lung function and reduce the need for a breathing tube. Researchers compared patients who received plasma exchange plus standard intensive care to those who received standard care alone.
