Deskripsi

Early stages of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) have been associated with silent hypoxia and poor oxygenation despite relatively small fractions of afflicted lung. Here, the authors present a mathematical model which reproduces the vascular pulmonary mechanisms observed in patients with early COVID-19.
