Patients are coming in hypoxic (even 75%) without dyspnea. I have seen Covid patients present with encephalopathy, renal failure from dehydration, DKA.

Explain it to us like we're ten year olds.

[CatOwner]

Yes, please. And how it compares to a typical flu season.

[Vermont Lt]

Hypoxia =. Low Oxygen
Dyspnea =. Difficulty breathing

DKA=. Diabetic Kyoto Acidoses, Causes Fat to be broken down too fast, causing an overload in the Liver, which results in too much acid in the blood.

Renal Failure, = kidney failure

Encephalopathy = Brain Damage

All in all, multiple organ failure/ damage.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Brain and heart issues (I think).

I’m with you Eagle. I’m an engineer not in the medical profession. I’ll wait for a translation of the article.

Do you think Google Translate might handle it?!

[PresidentFelon]

It means people are demonstrating signs of oxygen deprivation without difficulty breathing, disorientation, dehydration and diabetic ketoacidosis (high levels of ketones... Blood acids).

[Jane Long]

Explain it to us like we’re ten year olds.

==

Low oxygen and much difficulty breathing.

Impaired brain functions, kidney failure.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Low oxygen in blood, confusion, kidney failure due to dehydration.

[Husker24]

75% oxygen level??? I would think that would be lethal.

[wastoute]

I’ve been doing that for days.

10 year old version, as always it is gonna be fine. This is a grown up version of a frontline report telling others on the frontline what to watch for. I kinda got that opinion.
