István Vályi-Nagy, CEO of South Pest Central Hospital, is optimistic about the effectiveness of plasma therapy in patients with coronavirus. The hospital was the first in Hungary to use this treatment here. The CEO told hvg.hu that in patients who need a ventilator, ventilation time can be significantly reduced, but this alone is not enough for everyone. For therapy to be used in more than one, more donors would be needed, but few are suitable.
István Vályi-Nagy stated that his condition is improving among the first patients to receive plasma therapy in Hungary. One of them could have been removed from the ventilator five days after treatment. The experimental plasma-based treatment of patients recovering from Covid-19 disease is currently used in more severe patients. Other innovative pharmacological treatments are also being used in the hospital and good results are being achieved. Both are very important because there is still no vaccine or therapy developed specifically for the disease. The therapy alone is effective in only a part of the patients, added István Vályi-Nagy.
