Case series of nebulizing r-tPA for COVID-19 induced acute respiratory distress syndrome

© 2022 The Authors. Clinical Case Reports published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd..

Fibrin deposition in the alveolar spaces during pulmonary involvement of COVID-19 impairs the O2/CO2 exchange and leads to respiratory symptoms. In this report, Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator (r-tPA) has been nebulized to 3 critically ill COVID-19 patients in order to resolve the deposited fibrin while avoiding the risk of bleeding. Based on these observations, nebulization of r-tPA may be a potential therapeutic approach and new area of research for future studies.
