A member asked:
If you have sars, you will have impaired gas exchange right? how long does it take to improve and maintain the patient's respiratory status?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Impaired gas exchange would generally be a late feature of the disease, calling for critical care. It very much depends on the particular virus on how aggressive it is. The same is true for how long it takes for recovery. Younger patients, in general, have better prognosis.
