Advances in medical care and therapies for COVID-19 is helping to lower the death rate for patients in intensive care, according to doctors and researchers -- some good news amid rising cases and concerns of a second wave in Canada.

TORONTO -- Torry Robertson spent 173 days in the hospital -- 49 of them in intensive care -- battling COVID-19. Today, he is living evidence that doctors are getting better at treating patients with the novel coronavirus.There is no question COVID-19 continues to be a deadly disease.

“In our study, we saw that sticking to the game plan and sticking to evidence-based practices in the ICU was associated with a survival benefit ,” according to Janz, who specializes in pulmonary and critical care at University Medical Center New Orleans. “There's hope for all of our patients. There's hope for all the health care providers around the world,” Janz said.

“There was a lot of hype and incredible reporting in the mainstream media about how one should be managing these patients anecdotally in the first wave. We are recognizing that actually COVID causes a syndrome called acute respiratory distress syndrome that behaves, in many cases, much like the typical type of acute respiratory distress syndrome that might be caused by other causes of viral pneumonia or sepsis, or shock.

“I think there's always a little bit of uncertainty when you're dealing with a new disease that nobody has really seen before. So we've had that first wave under our belts.”According to Dr. Marcelo Cypel, a thoracic surgeon with the UHN, there is a small but growing list of therapies shown to boost the survival rate of COVID-19 patients.
