This is a Phase II/III randomized clinical trial to assess the effectiveness and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 convalescent plasma in i) hospitalized adult patients with high-risk of progression SARS-CoV-2 infection and ii) patients in Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Compatible ABO plasma from convalescent patients will be administered at a dose of 400 ml divided into two doses intravenously. Outcomes will be measured as follows:
\* Group of patients with critical illness:
Primary outcomes (Effectiveness and safety):
* Mortality
* Safety: Presence of adverse events
Secondary outcomes:
* Intensive care unit length of stay
* Evolution of clinical and paraclinical aspects.
* Group of patients at high risk of progression:
Primary outcomes (Effectiveness and safety):
* Mortality
* Safety: Presence of adverse events
* Admission to ICU in 30 days
* Mechanical ventilation requirement
Secondary outcomes:
* Hospital/Intensive care unit length of stay
* Evolution of clinical and paraclinical aspects.
