Persistent changes on chest x-ray and hypoxemia in arterial blood gas analyses have been described in several cases in novel CoV-19 virus (nCoV-19) patients.

Sumario:Persistent changes on chest x-ray and hypoxemia in arterial blood gas analyses have been described in several cases in novel CoV-19 virus (nCoV-19) patients. These changes are usually not expressed to a large extent. Our goal was not only to present a patient with comorbidities in whom residual pulmonary infiltrates remained with consequent hypoxemia after extubation, but also to show that these changes do not always correlate with the clinical condition. In summary, despite chest x-ray changes and hypoxemia, with appropriate respiratory physiotherapy, the patient had a satisfactory clinical status.
