Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to collect convalescent plasma and use it as experimental treatment in critically ill Covid-19 patients in order to reduce mortality and length of stay in intensive care unit.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aims to use convalescent plasma as experimental treatment in critically ill Covid-19 patients in order to reduce mortality and length of stay in intensive care unit. Donors must have anti-SARS CoV2 antibodies. Recipients must be critically ill Covid-19 patients on mechanical ventilation.
