Thank you, Dr. Cecchini! I used to be an observer at UH while I was in graduate school at Western. Last year of residency at Tufts MC and so good to see you make these high-yield videos.
Thank you for this. I had DAD this past January, & they couldn't find a cause for it. I was dx'd w/ organizing pneumonia, I had all the symptoms of COVID, but I kept testing negative for COVID. So, for a month, they gave me higher doses & stronger/more broad spectrum antibiotics. When I was finally admitted to the hospital, my lungs were so damaged that a walk from my hospital bed to the toilet took me down to 78% O2 saturation. My biopsy apparently showed no viral activity, fungal activity, or aspiration debris. I was sent home w/O2 & Prednisone. The O2 was my constant companion for 5 mos, & The Prednisone for 8. It's been almost a year since I first got sick, & I'm alive, & had a clear pulmonologist visit today.
@@tilwedie23 Yes, and yes. Sometimes, for no identifiable reason, my O2 levels just drop to 90 or below. If I get any respiratory illness, they do the same.
Thank you, Dr. Cecchini!

Thanks, please keep making more fantastic quality
Are the alveolar air spaces increased in size due to odema/ secretions?
Thanks for making this video!

I had DAD too.
Are your lungs healed? Do you still get lower then normal spo2 readings?

I have the exact same symptoms and the exact same diagnosis
Thank you
