This article goes into detail for those interested and recalling the reports that “ventilators make COVID worse!!!?;!!?” spread by dipshits that then deny COVID was a problem at all.
TL;DR patients who were put on a ventilator for pneumonia frequently show improvement. Because ventilators do indeed work as a last ditch treatment.
The problem is that if they develop a secondary infection, an inherent risk of the procedure and one of the reasons why it is a last resort, the person who was going to die without it probably won’t respond to further treatment.
Yeah, and they damage the lungs by forcing them to function and weakening our ability to breathe. That’s why we sometimes see lungs rupture from the pressure and see people fail to come off of the vent. It’s a last resort and I’d much rather be on a bipap machine if possible, but it isn’t always possible, and a relatively small chance to live is better than no chance
