Sponsor's own description

While the pandemic continues to incite panic and the guideline recommendations regarding management of COVID continue to change, we have growing evidence that ARDS secondary to Covid-19 is associated with disseminated intravascular and alveolar fibrin deposition1. Strategies devised to reduce mucous and fibrin plugs will greatly help in preventing patients from progressing to invasive ventilation2 which if happens will obviously overburden the compromised intensive care facilities. Offering heparin in nebulized form has greatly reduced levels of coagulation activation in the lungs both in animal studies and in patients with acute lung injury3. As Heparin prevents further fibrin deposition but is ineffective in the removal of pre-existing fibrin plug, so early use of heparin during the course of the disease may help in limiting the complications of ARDS and hence reducing the burden faced by our intensive care units. A prospective randomized controlled trial will be carried out in patients admitted to COVID complex to see its effects on disease progression and its role in preventing patients from progressing to require Invasive Mechanical Ventilation while being administered through local route rather than systemic. Moreover, it will also give insight and way forward regarding the improvement in the survival and earlier discharge
