The webinar conducted on 02.05.21 on Covid Challenges, was commenced by Shanmugham by
Dr B D Patel to create positive vibrations. Dr Shreepad Hegde introduced the Speaker Dr
Pradeep Kumar Gupta, Director and Founder of Naiminath Homoeopathic and Medical College
and Research Center, Agra, UP.
Dr Pradeep Gupta shared a series of cases with severe pneumonia and how to evolve a clinical and research protocol in advancing pathologies of this mutant strain virus that dominated the second wave. Most of the cases were with severe CT score of 21/25 were treated in IPD and many were also managed at OPD level. He shared studies carried out between 5/4/2021 to 30/4/2021 in both IPD and OPD settings. 127 cases were admitted in IPD and treated with homoeopathy. Out of this, 121 were cured and 2 died and 1 was referred. OPD cases were 4387 and divided into three phases, based on weekly enrollment, and followed up for a month. Along with this there was an outreach program to over a lakh through telemedicine.
This extensive reach helped him with a meticulous data collection. The predominant cluster of symptoms were persistent fever, dry cough, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, CT score 8-22 and blood markers which were done at regular intervals. IPD cases also had patients admitted with oxygen saturation of 80 – 90 and few were less than 70. The indicated remedies were given in 200 potencies at frequent interval of every 10 minutes and then half hourly till recovery in IPD. The commonly indicated remedies were Bryonia, Arsenic Album, Hepar Sulph, Gelsemium, Antim Tart, Arnica on the basis of symptom totality.
He also shared that the cases varied from region to region and Genus Epidemics requires assessing the cluster of symptoms in an area with a clear-cut cross-sectional study. He also emphasized the need for single remedy that covers the totality and in centesimal scale. Thus, his sound clinical and homoeopathic approach in a hospital set up has helped us reach our system in tertiary care that was needed in this wave of epidemic.
The session ended with Vote of Thanks by KQHDA Secretary Dr Subha and was well coordinated by Dr Chiranth.
