Ummmm
You are not very bright. I asked what is the criteria for putting someone on a vent. I happen to know it and asked someone else spouting them same uneducated points you are what we are supposed to do.

So. Code what are the indications for mechanical ventilation. Define the west zones of the lung and relate it to the pathophysiology of viral pneumonia. Define ARDS. what are the techniques that demonstrate increased survival at 30 days.

Also If a patient has life threatening hypoxemia how should it be treated. What is an acceptable PaO2 to you. Where would you intervene.

Your attack simply demonstrates you either can’t or won’t read

You continue to show yourself to be at best irrelevant or at most maliciously stupid.

You’re not my hero, Sunshine, but I bet, like all liberals, you think you’re the popular girl.

Following hospital protocols is deadly, especially the covid protocols. You claim you don’t, but everyone in healthcare knows you do or you get fired.

Tsk, tsk. There's that bedside manner again.

Times sure have changed Doc.

Before there were PulseOx devices, in the field we would bag the pt based on appearances.

Cyanotic, chest movement, accessory muscles being used.
And of course the possible reason for the pt DIB in the first place.

If they went into respiratory arrest, we’d intubate.
Love that Mac Blade.

Then when those fancy PulseOx meters came out……..I still had a hard time counting on them and still based my actions on the pt’s signs and symptoms. LOL

Of course as time went by I got use to a PulseOx Meter and trusted it more and more.

Our protocols for intubation was an SP O2 of 89 or lower.

I was working with a fill-in medic when my partner was on vacation and this fill-in guy was almost done with his P.A. program and doing clinical time at the hospital we were going to take our pt. to.

Pt. had an SP O2 at 85, still consensus and this P.A. wanted to crash the Pt. with Morphine so we can intubate her……..so I agreed. (Yikes!!)

Anyway, dosed her with 8mg IVP, then 2mg more…….it worked. Whew!
Meanwhile I’m standing by with Narcan holding her I.V. Port ready to push! LOL

I sure do miss it.
