Abstract

Objectives: To describe some paraclinical characteristics of Covid-19 patients with lung damage at the field hospital - Hai Duong University of Medical Technology. Subjects and methods: The study was conducted at Field Hospital No. 2 - Hai Duong University of Medical Technology to evaluate the paraclinical characteristics of covid 19 patients with lung injury from January 2021 to August 2021. Cross-sectional description on 113 patients selected for the study who are Covid-19 patients with lung lesions on X-ray or CT scan. Results: 15 patients (13.3%) had lung damage at discharge, 21/68 patients (30.8%) had increased fibrinogen, 9/46 patients (19.5%) had increased D dimer, 12/59(20, 3%) also increased CRP, 24/45 (53.3%) also hyponatremia. Increased fibrinogen, D dimer was most common on the first day of hospital admission, increased fibrinogen and D dimer were seen mainly in the first 10 days of hospital admission. Conclusion: Disorders on laboratory tests: complete blood count, blood biochemistry, blood electrolytes are common in Covid-19 patients, especially in severe patients with lung damage. Laboratory testing is a factor that helps doctors predict and treat Covid-19 patients.
