Dr. Todd Ellerin shares insight and data related to the coronavirus outbreak.officials around the world push to get more ventilators to treat coronavirus patients, some doctors are moving away from using the breathing machines when they can.
Generally speaking, 40% to 50% of patients with severe respiratory distress die while on ventilators, experts say. But 80% or more of coronavirus patients placed on the machines in New York City have died, state and city officials say. “We know that mechanical ventilation is not benign," said Dr. Eddy Fan, an expert on respiratory treatment at Toronto General Hospital. “One of the most important findings in the last few decades is that medical ventilation can worsen lung injury — so we have to be careful how we use it.”
But increasingly, physicians are trying other measures first. One is having patients lie in different positions — including on their stomachs — to allow different parts of the lung to aerate better. Another is giving patients more oxygen through nose tubes or other devices. Some doctors are experimenting with adding nitric oxide to the mix, to help improve blood flow and oxygen to the least damaged parts of the lungs.
Experts say that patients with bacterial pneumonia, for example, may be on a ventilator for no more than a day or two. But it’s been common for coronavirus patients to have been on a ventilator “seven days, 10 days, 15 days, and they’re passing away,” said New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, when asked about ventilator death rates during a news briefing on Wednesday.
not in this country all hospitals have enough ventilators some states are sending back ventilators to the government, If a patient needs a ventilator they have them at the hospitals. Foreign countries have hit there peak numbers down by 50 percent
In the Eastern, there is methodology of Yi-Jing to research three changes of substances, in which variability is key state to feel all senses in your body to control breathe coherent virus corona and overcome ill without any drugs.
So now we don’t need them. Never did. Fake news.
Artificial lungs?
Iron lung would be less invasive.
America has no trust in the news media
Because they're exacerbating the compromised lung function. Do some research for a change InvestigatJournalismIsDead
Thank God for doctors who take their oath seriously. It's called improvisation! They will do whatever it takes to save a Human life without the proper tools they need & are forced to find other solutions.
Ventilators side effects like death may be worse than hydroxycloroquin side effects ?
The push was for political purposes only. The democrats spent their health care funds on running the sanctuary cities and they are hiding under d pandemic restock their state so that after d pandemic, more funds will be diverted to running the sanctuary in order to win more votes
Hey what about those negative pressure bubbles?
Cause those doctors know, the survival chance is less than 15% when a patient utilized ventilator.
Ventilator's will not save a patient,it will only pump air into a corpse,until all the human organs break down.
The democrats in the US were grossly exaggerating how many ventilators were needed. It's always amazing how democrats willingly like to create hysteria.
Every time a Democrat is voted into office, they seem to ALWAYS steer the ship of Liberty into the dark ports of tyranny. For those who vote Democrat, please pull your heads out of your fourth point of contact!
