Abstract

Despite the recent emergence of COVID-19 and the absence of a specific cure, the hospital treatment of patients affected by this virus is well established. It is based on symptomatic treatments including oxygen therapy, physiotherapy and anticoagulation therapy. The treatment plan and potential therapeutic limitations must be well defined and adapted to the severity, predisposition and wishes of the patient.

Keywords: COVID-19; Covid-19; care project; cure; health equity; limitation thérapeutique; projet de soins; therapeutic limitation; traitement; équité des soins.
