Corona Virus Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Possible New Protocol
VERY IMPORTANT LIFE SAVING INFORMATION HERE:
Please read the following, as it may save you or your loved one’s life:
ER Doctor Cameron Kyle-Sidell was the first to shed light on the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome - ARDS - that occurs in Covid19 patients, symptoms not seen before, which don’t respond well to the standard of care currently employed.
Kyle-Slidell said that he thought the treatment protocol and basic understanding of acute COVID-19-induced respiratory distress were both wrong. He said that what he is seeing in his ICU does not look like pneumonia but rather oxygen deprivation (hypoxia). Thus the treatment shouldn’t be focused on high pressure for someone whose lungs aren’t able to function, but rather more effective ways of delivering additional oxygen. Critically, he argued that the high pressure ventilation might be damaging the lungs. He also said his impressions were based both on his ICU work over the previous two weeks and conversations with other clinicians around the country.
He is saying that the disease model most doctors are working with – pneumonia/ARDS – is not what these patients are presenting with and the treatment protocol is not suited to their disease. You may have seen his first video, which went viral: https://bit.ly/34CuyPp

COULD THIS BE THE SOLUTION?
A new and different way of treating patients with COVID-19 may soon be studied in New Orleans.
Monday, a panel of doctors met to decide if the study, treating patients in oxygen chambers, can move forward. The idea dates back more than a century.
Hyperbaric oxygen chambers have been used for decades to heal. They pump many times the oxygen under pressure into a patient. And recently Dr. Paul Harch, emergency medicine and hyperbaric oxygen specialist at LSU Health, came across information from the deadly 1918 Spanish flu outbreak.
"Within minutes of putting this patient under pressure in the chamber, he began to rouse he was nearly unconscious and blue. Started breathing better, pinked up, and over the course of five days, just one treatment a day, he was able to revive this patient."
Airliners could have role as Covid-19 hyperbaric oxygen chambers
Thousands of grounded aircraft could be transformed into potentially life-saving hyperbaric oxygen chambers to treat COVID-19 patients with airport departure lounges used as wards.
