COVID-19 patients with asthma between 20 and 59 years of age may need a ventilator to help with breathing five days longer than patients without asthma in that age group, a new study warns.
Patients with asthma who were between 20 and 59 years of age needed a ventilator to help with breathing five days longer than patients without asthma in that age group, researchers reported.[the use of a ventilator], asthma was associated with a significantly longer intubation time in the younger group of patients who would seemingly have a better disease course than patients over the age of 65," said lead author Dr. Mahboobeh Mahdavinia.
"Our findings suggest that younger individuals with asthma may require extra attention, as they could develop a sustained pulmonary failure with COVID-19 infection, leading to prolonged mechanical ventilation," Mahdavinia said in a hospital news release.The researchers found that asthma resulted in longer times on a ventilator for 18- to 64-year-old patients, but not for those 65 and older. Hospital stays were also longer.
The researchers, however, found that asthma alone was a predictor of a longer time spent on a ventilator.
