12.01.2022 Ramzi spent approximately 3 weeks in ICU with severe COVID-19 infection after 10 days of illness at home. He required a long duration on a mechanical ventilator, a brief run of proning (being nursed on the front instead of the back for lung aeration) and a tracheostomy among many other therapies. We captured this photo, complete with cheeky grin, on the first day he walked. #COVID19

11.01.2022 St Vincent's Melbourne Intensivist Dr Barry Dixon is proposing a trial of Nebulized Heparin in COVID-19 patients. He has done extensive research in using nebulized Heparin in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) patients. A phase 1 trial was published in 2008, further data was presented in 2010, and he is now awaiting publication of a multicentre, randomized, double-blind clinical trial.

02.01.2022 Betty spent over a month in St Vincent's Melbourne ICU for critical illness secondary to COVID-19. She had two runs on a mechanical ventilator and was proned (nursed on her front rather than back whilst in a medically induced coma) for long periods of time to improve her lung function. After this, she required a tracheostomy to allow her to be slowly liberated from the ventilator.
