COVID-19 with silent hypoxemia
William Ottestad, Mari Seim, Jens Otto Mæhlen
Abstract
Some COVID-19 patients deteriorate rapidly and seemingly without warning. This is also true for relatively young patients who were previously healthy or who had only minor underlying conditions. We describe one such case, in which a man in his sixties developed rapidly progressive respiratory failure with severe hypoxia.
