I saw plenty of deaths last year. Some were quite tragic. I had one very young girl who had life long interstitial lung disease. She was in really rough shape for a week or two. They finally decided to try ECMO on her, but she passed. Comatose for the entire time that we had her.

I saw lots of different things. Biggest thing that I noticed was that everybody was different. You would move from one room to the next and the ventilator modes and settings were always very different. Pressure mode 1 room, Volume the next. We also had exotic modes ‘APRV’ and even spontaneous. All of the rates volumes, pressures, PEEP, FIO2s were individualized. Some were hypotensive, others hypertensive. Febrile, non febrile, apneic, tachypneic. It was actually a bit creepy to see so much variation. Typically, they almost had a history of complex medical problems.

ventilator modes and settings were always very different

Are many or most of these patients on Remdesivir (Veklury) or just the unlucky COVID ones??
