You have no idea what you are talking about and the medical textbook of the Gaurdian is laughable
But, doc., since you are obviously a fellowship trained intensivist with ample critical care experience please list for us the indications for mechanical ventilation. Please list the six causes and two categories of hypoxemia. Relate it to the West zones of the lung and when you are done synthesizing all of that please tell us what the markers of progress are on the vent, the timeline for emergence of VAP and preventive measures
Can’t wait to hear your answers.
Waht, are you trying to be funny?
Because you aren’t.
Provide exact numbers, not estimates or approximations.
Eight weeks of actual data ought to settle a lot of questions one way or another. Twelve weeks would leave no doubts.
Without any personal attacks or insults to anyone's professional expertise required either.
People die in the ICU all the time. Maybe it really has been the ventilators all along, and the pulmonologists are simply clueless. If you’re paid to think ventilators are good, then you’ll do exactly that.
You’re the same one who, in early 2020, didn’t understand the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine against coronavirus.
No wonder you claim you are losing patients, you’re an idiot. No one puts people arbitrarily on vents. No one. Yet, here you are supporting the idea that a suspected diagnosis of covid means venting a patient, which has killed tens of thousands with that protocol.
You’re nothing but an anesthesiologist. STFU!
