“…Some investigations have revealed the negative impact of the pandemic on the mental health of LGB individuals [ 19 , 43 , 44 ]. In this sense, Barrientos et al [ 45 ] reported that, in their study, LGB participants suffered a huge negative psychosocial impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and Moore et al [ 46 ] stated that sexual and gender minorities had higher levels of depression.…”

This research seeks to explore the impact of COVID-19 on depressive symptoms, analyzing discrepancies of sexual orientation in a Portuguese-speaking sample. 1590 individuals participated, of which 63% were women, and 88% self-identified as straight. Participants responded to the depression sub-scale of the Beck Symptoms Iventory-18, the fear of COVID-19 scale and the COVID-19 negative impact scale. Depressive symptoms observed were higher than expected, and several significant differences were obtained: women and self-identified bisexual participants had higher levels of depressive symptoms compared to male and straight and gay or lesbian participants. Depressive symptoms negatively correlated with age and positively correlated with COVID-19 aggravated responses, fear of COVID-19, and negative impact of COVID-19. Hierarchical linear regression analysis showed that age, gender and sexual orientation explained 6% of the variance of depressive symptoms, and when fear and the negative impact of COVID-19 was added, the model explained 23% of results. This study provides an important contribution to the understanding of factors arising from the pandemic that may have an impact on the mental health of sexual minorities.

“…The invasive procedure comprising ventilation of • patient by invading the trachea with a tube insertion and then connecting it to the ventilator usually come into play for lungs that are weaker, ARDS lungs or neuromuscular weakness causing nonfunctional chest wall. (Javed, n.d.) (Gawai,et al 2020). In the disconnection of ventilator there is loss of PEEP and results in atelectasis which should be avoided.…”

Corona viruses are a wide group of pathogens that affect both humans and animals. It spreads in humans by human-to-human interaction, as seen with MERS and SARS. Close contact allows the virus to spread by droplets from coughs, sneezes, and conversations. The incubation period varies from 2 to 14 days, and it is still unknown in many cases. Mild symptoms such as sore throat, headache, cough, and malaise are treated with antipyretics and antitussives, as well as nutritive treatment, depending on the symptoms.Oxygen therapy, anticoagulation, and corticosteroids are given with antiviral drugs for mild symptoms. The demand for supply must be maintained. In extreme cases, drug treatment should be continued and oxygenation maintained early in the disease; but, as the disease progresses to ARDS, a non-invasive technique providing oxygen via a mask or nasal cannula and preserving SpO2 and FiO2 is used first. If the condition worsens to the point that the Lung no longer functions, a compliant endotracheal intubation is performed in order to administer artificial ventilation in an environment where expertise is available. Patients with septic shock are started on antimicrobial treatment, fluid loadings are maintained, and vasopressors are administered. Glucocorticoids can be used for a limited time to treat a patient's deteriorating condition. Airway Management of COVID19 and LowCost Ventilators-aboonor bane? As a result, disease prevention at the earliest stage is considered a condemnatory measure. However, one must be prepared for any mishaps in the manifestation of disease as it progresses to complication. Invasive procedures such as mechanical ventilation and non-invasive procedures such as nasal cannula oxygenation must be used successfully, depending on the patient's capacity for reaction to the care offered. Given the unpredictability of the future in relation to the disease, it would be advantageous if the country were to be equipped in advance with manufactured low-cost ventilators.

Spread of the novel COVID-19 virus observed all across the globe. It is an international public health emergency as the cases have rised up to millions. On 11 March, WHO characterized COVID-19 as a global Pandemic. Even in India, there was outbreak of virus with alarming level of spread and severity. Air in the Earth's atmosphere contains about 21% of oxygen which is enough for all living being to survive. Due to COVID-19 infection in lungs, oxygen saturation decreases causing HYPOXIA. If the patient does not show any sign and symptom of breathless and live normal life is called as happy hypoxia. There are many cases all over the world where patient suffers from happy hypoxia. In a survey, among 1712 patients with COVID-19 64.7% that is 1107 patients do not complain of shortness in breathe at time of admission. It is a dangerous threat to life if not intervene early. The correct line of treatment for both COVID-19 and happy hypoxia is very important. It helps in faster recovery of patient. Identifying comorbid condition and personal past history of patient, all the required blood investigation are to be done with HRCT scan. This helps an easy diagnosis and also reveals current health status. Oxygen saturation also plays main role in treatment part. The happy hypoxia state has worst effect in COVID-19 positive patients. If not taken seriously, this can lead to more oxygen deficiency. It is very difficult task to bring back the patient to normal natural oxygen, when once oxygen level is below 50%. Proper measures should be taken to avoid such complicated condition.
