My strongest memory of COVID: I was sat in a respirator. They are horrible to wear. It made my nose stream and I'd gone deaf in one ear from pressure on my temperomandibular joint from the mask straps. I was tired. So, utterly, dog tired. I'd just reviewed a man, in his 50s

@SenseReceptor NG163 only recommended opioids and benzodiazepines for patients who were experiencing breathlessness as part of an end of life phase. Bridgen, as always, misrepresents the facts.

For anyone who doesn't understand why the medical community spends so much time and energy calling out grifters like @CartlandDavid , take his advice and go and watch Apple Cider Vinegar, and see the harm that can be done to the vulnerable by charlatans.

Looks like political failures have found themselves a solid grift to recarve a career opportunity.

@DrNice2022 @jdorengo @Endsofinve18158 @orntwo @LeilaniDowding Then you can come back to my question about outcomes in refractory respiratory failure without ventilatory support 👍

@jcat81516 @jdorengo @Endsofinve18158 @orntwo @LeilaniDowding Exactly. So the debate was intubate early or late. Never not intubate at all, unless the patient was assessed as not having a survival opportunity.

@jdorengo @Endsofinve18158 @orntwo @LeilaniDowding What happens to a patient with refractory type 1 respiratory failure from viral pneumonitis who doesn't go onto a ventilator?

@Endsofinve18158 @jdorengo @orntwo @LeilaniDowding There's a trope that in NY they were intubating too early and this had a worse outcome. It's not bourne out through the literature. In fact, saturation of services probably meant we couldn't intubate patients as early as standard care dictated
