Overview
Brief Summary
Hypercoagulability has been demonstrated in COVID-19, leading to respiratory distress and increased mortality. This is an adaptive clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety of two experimental strategies in patients with COVID-19: ASA or inhaled UFH associated with standard VTE prophylaxis.
