Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Safety of PLMSCs intravenous injection. Timepoint: During hospitalization up to 28 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Physical examinations and blood tests.;Change the amount of oxygen supply. Timepoint: Up to 28 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Measurement of PaO2 / FiO2.;Mortality. Timepoint: Up to 28 days after intervention. Method of measurement: The patients follow up.;Change in the severity of pneumonia. Timepoint: During hospitalization up to 28 days after treatment. Method of measurement: Physical examination - percentage of oxygen in the ventilator.
