Protocol summary

Study aim
Determination of the effects of COVID-19 convalescent plasma in acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19
Design
Present study is randomized, parallel, clinical trial.
Settings and conduct
the present study will be done in hospitalized COVID-19 patients at Urmia University of Medical Sciences hospitals. patients divided into 3 groups that will receive standard treatment and 2 of them will receive different doses of convalescent plasma.

Intervention groups
1-control group: standard treatment 2-first interventional group: 2-5 cc/kg convalescent plasma (days 1,3,5) 3-second interventional group: 8-10 cc/kg convalescent plasma (day 1)

Randomized
Randomization description
We use block randomization and according to the study design patients will be divided into two groups (severe and critical). firstly, we will create two separate blocks size equal to 6 (AABBCC). Secondly, we will list all permutation of them and assigned code for each permutation. We will select 10 blocks using a simple random method for two study groups (severe and critical).
