The ventilators killed more people than the virus ever could, change my mind.
My understanding is that it was basically a death sentence.
I mean you're pretty much destroying a person's trachea by intubating them. You have to pump them full of pain killers in order to do it. Overdose on painkillers, dead patient, clumsy nigger nurse damages the patient's lungs or trachea leading to shock. It's like shooting someone in the lungs and thinking the holes will allow people to breathe better.
As an RRT: Just no.
I've saved a lot of lives with vents. Period.
Covid should not be vented as a tx protocol. Pussy doctors won't prescribe HCQ or Ivermeticin. <--They have the AMAs dick in their mouth.
Also once you take them off, the involuntary action of breathing has been unneeded for so long that your lizard brain fails to restart it.
Or so I've heard.
Edit: Medulla. That's what it's called.
Wait, that doesn't work? Better get to the hood and let them know.
Stop starting with "I mean"...ill finish reading your comment now
'Here, lemme destroy your lungs because you have the sniffles, citizen'
Pretty much this is exactly what happens (former nurse and paramedic here), usually people - even deathly sick people - have a better chance of recovering on their own. Once you drug them and paralyze them their body can't do it's normal functions and shuts down. They don't die of whatever illness they have - they die of organ failure.
this right here is what nursing homes are all about.
its one thing to dose up a young person in hospital after trauma with painkillers, some of them develop serious dependancies on that stuff and it fucks with the body fighting them off.
now think of your grandma in a nursing home where people wander in and out all the time and do all kinds of shit to them, what do you think happens after they damage 'themselves' in a way that needs narcotic painkillers.... then what happens when you try and take them off? 'oh your gran was playing up again last night...' they keep on getting put into full on drug dependancies by the people paid to take care of them.
My first job while in nursing school was in an aged care centre. I saw firsthand many times how at the "end" they just dose them up with a bunch of morphine til they forget to breath and die.
I cannot, because observational evidence suggests that you are correct.
