For a while we were issuing convalescent plasma and taking art in a trial about its use. The result are in: https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/who-advises-against-use-of-convalescent-plasma-for-covid-19/
“Current evidence shows no improvement in
survival and other important measures Convalescent plasma (a transfusion of
blood plasma from someone who has recovered from covid-19) is not recommended
for patients with covid-19, says a WHO Guideline Development Group of
international experts in The BMJ today.
Despite its initial promise, current evidence
shows that it does not improve survival nor reduce the need for mechanical
ventilation, and it is costly and time-consuming to administer.”
