Alarmed as COVID patients' blood thickened, New York doctors try new treatments

NEW YORK - As the novel coronavirus spread through New York City in late March, doctors at Mount Sinai Hospital noticed something strange happening to patients’ blood.

At Mount Sinai, nephrologists noticed kidney dialysis catheters getting plugged with clots. Pulmonologists monitoring COVID-19 patients on mechanical ventilators could see portions of lungs were oddly bloodless. Neurosurgeons confronted a surge in their usual caseload of strokes due to blood clots, the age of victims skewing younger, with at least half testing positive for the virus.

“Maybe, just maybe, if you prevent the clotting, you can make the disease less severe,” said Dr. David Reich, the hospital president. The new protocol will not be used on certain high-risk patients because blood thinners can lead to bleeding in the brain and other organs.In the three weeks beginning mid-March, Mocco saw 32 stroke patients with large blood blockages in the brain, double the usual number for that period.

Poor ran into a kidney doctor that night, who remarked that dialysis catheters were often getting blocked with clots. At 2:46 a.m. on Easter Sunday, Poor sent Mocco his first draft of what would become the new treatment protocol.As their wards began to overflow with COVID-19 patients, the Mount Sinai doctors read papers describing similar findings from doctors in China’s Hubei province and other hard-hit areas, and discussed them with their peers in phone calls and webinars.

Magnesium drip?

Not great news for those 60- somethings like me who have a history of excessive blood clotting issues along with diabeties and pulmonary problems. I will soon be refered to as 'bubble man'.

Not even Soylent Green painted such a bleak picture.

I'd say be careful with blood thinners as there are also reports of COVIDー19 patients presenting with bleeding due to pancytopenia.
