Category: Article Summary
Topic: Testing and Treatment
- This cohort study of 36 COVID-19 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation, some of whom received continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), found that CRRT was independently associated with a reduced risk of mortality in these patients.
