This patient was admitted to the ICU with COVID pneumonia a few weeks ago and due to a very high D-dimer level, empiric anticoagulation was initiated. The night prior to extubation, the patient's oxygen saturation plummeted, fresh blood appeared in the ventilator tubing, and the second X-ray was obtained.

A 58 year old male, non-smoker, asthmatic patient was referred with 3 weeks history of breathlessness, wheezing, and dry cough. He had a history of acute severe asthma many years ago. However, he had not required ventilatory support during that period. Since then, he had self-medicating intermittently with oral salbutamol and theophylline only. On examination, the patient had dyspnoea at rest and tachycardia. Oxygen saturation was 90% on room air. Respiratory examination revealed bilateral polyphonic rhonchi; otherwise, he was normal. Arterial blood gas analysis revealed hypoxemia (PaO2: 54 mmHg) with respiratory alkalosis (pH: 7.43, PaCO2: 32.3 mmHg and Bicarbonate: 20 mEq/l). Let's discuss the case on today's World Asthma Day

Bee sting 3 days earlier. Flucloxacillin started 2 days later and redness is improving but blister getting bigger. Systemically well. How would you deal with the blister? It’s slowly leaking serous fluid. What could go wrong - especially during lockdown?
