The Western Cape has shifted to using high flow nasal oxygen treatment on Covid-19 patients after the first six patients placed on ventilators died at Tygerberg hospital in Cape Town

“What happened is all six of those patients died. At that time there was the first emerging studies of critical care success by using high flow nasal oxygen,” he said.

Cloete said that since liquor stores were reopened on Monday there had been an increase in alcohol-related trauma cases at hospitals. These cases were now competing for ICU beds with Covid-19 patients. He said the high-flow nasal oxygen treatment was so successful that they were considering moving patients from critical care and ICU wards to normal wards.

What part of the research from Italy regarding ventilators didn't you get? You should be charged with manslaughter. The information is there telling you NOT to ventilate or inturbate covid patients.

When Dr Rashid and other doctors told you that ventilators are a wrong way to treat the symptoms and actually contribute to these so called covid-19 deaths, nathi bayahlanya they are conspiracy theorists.

Wow lets focus on the picture....... gawd some people can't get over themselves. It's the media they been peddling lies all year long it's just part of the strategy into scaring us to abide by stupid untested ANC rules. wakeupsa

I read that the stats of covid-19 patients on respirators recovering are very low. Their try on a deferent method is welcomed.

Did you get permission to use this picture?

About time, it has been common knowledge for months now that ventilators cause more damage and hence the likelihood of recovery is dramatically reduced.

So now pictures are being posted of COVID-19 patients? & it just happens to be a Black Women REALLY?😈💔

Don’t understand why we put people on ventilators. Italy announced this over a month ago. Are we trying to make our own mistakes?

Ventilators are unfortunately a death sentence. Good move by the doctors.

Well done, WesternCape! SavingLifes during covid19 coronavirus ❤

Seems like ventilators are killers. Research I’ve read shows that ventilators cause problems.
