The family of a dying patient at a Florida hospital has filed an emergency appeal they hope will overturn a lower court’s decision and force Mayo Clinic to give their preferred treatment for COVID-19.
(snip)The use of ventilators seem to push patients on to a path of death, says Dr. Eduardo Balbona, the independent Jacksonville doctor helping the Pisano family.
“In New York, over 65 ICU ventilated patients [had] a mortality of 97 percent,” he testified (snip)
“I know in [Ascension’s] St. Vincent’s [Southside Hospital in Jacksvonille, in the] ICU, Delta last summer had a mortality of 93 percent. It’s very hard to get those kind of mortality levels from the virus itself.

OP refers to something called oxygen delivery via HFNC (High Flow Nasal Cannula) which iprovides oxygen and also warms and humidifies it. Intubation and the use of ventilator should be last resort, not first line treatment.

Hi flow oxygen seems to be superior to mechanical ventilation. Here's where you can read about it:

Did hospitals have marching orders to use this treatment?

It killed my friend. I knew when they put him on a ventilator with the Wuhan flu, his chances were very slim.
And he died because they refused to give him monoclonal antibodies. Said he "didn't meet the criteria". Maybe because he was a white male? His wife, infected at the same time, got the monoclonal antibodies and recovered in a couple of days.
Don't trust doctors.

Mayo clinic Doc says it's difficult to know what the side effects would be (of ivermectin). Hospital says 5 percent chance if survival. Kind of makes concern about side effects irrelevant. At that point there is no reason not to try anything that might work!

I would be ashamed and embarrassed if I was the doc who ordered intubation. Didn’t the doc brush up on the detrimental effects of ventilations? Time is critical for this patient but I hope the family will prevail.

My best friend of forty-nine years died on a ventilator last August aged 63 years, allegedly with a lung infection. When I saw him last two days before they took him to the hospital, he didn't have a lung infection. Was he sacrificed? I think the best course of action is to stay out of the hospital, and stay off the vent.

Those are the only covid directives given to hospitals from the CDC, Remdesivir and ventilator. In order to put patient on ventilator, they're given Versed and/or propofol; not good! Most hospitals no longer give privileges to Drs., instead using their own "hospitalists" who are Drs employed by the hospital and have no relationship or history with the patient, therefore no attachment. If you are wondering how it can get this bad, realize healthcare is a business and, as such, it's all about profit vs. loss.

Ventilators plus the use of the expensive worthless Remdisivir is a death sentence not a treatment! Hospitals get paid more the longer a C19 infected patient is there, more money if ventilated and even more if the C19 patient dies! Even the coroner gets a cut! Absolutely no incentive to cure/heal the patient! Unbelievable! Treatments using therapeutics like Ivermectin/HCQ are banned by major hospital systems! It's all criminal!

The American Medical Association, National Institutes of Health, and Food and Drug Administration have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. This is because they blocked the use of Hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin.
If you buy in the Internet horse Durvet Ivermectin it tastes of green apple. A low dose of 0.2 mg/Kg is 0.85 grams of paste. For a 180 pound person like me (80 Kg) this comes to 1/2 inch or 1.3 cm length of extruded paste. Take 1 dose/week for prophylaxis, or 5 consecutive days if you catch Covid. Of course also take a Zinc supplement daily.

That’s how my niece's husband died just two weeks ago. Tragically, everything done by the hospital was all according to CDC/Fauci directives. No early treatment with ivermectin (denied by their doctor), put on ventilator for two weeks, finally cleared of Covid, but damage to his lungs was irreparable. He never woke from his medically induced coma.

The ventilator, which pushes air into the lungs under pressure, seriously inflames already inflamed lungs. The trigger for ventilation is a low blood oxygen reading. The HFNC (High Flow Nasal Cannula) serves the same purpose without intubation and mechanical breathing assistance which further damages the lungs.
I read that ventilation is usually a two day regimen. With the Covid regimen, it often goes on for weeks - or until death.

Dr. Balbona, who has officially treated members of Congress, and whose patients credit him with successfully treating their COVID infections certainly has enough credibility to question the limited treatment the clinic is willing to give him.
FTA: Balbona says he can’t understand why Mayo Clinic doctors aren’t treating Pisano with drugs that have been shown to work.
“He is not on dexamethasone; he should be,” Balbona testified. “Fluvoxamine has been shown to decrease mortality by about 90 percent. Again, he should be on fluvoxamine. The vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc are ionophores that, again, stop the inflammatory process. There’s no reason he shouldn’t be on these medicines. They’re very safe. They’re not controversial.”
Note that the patient sought treatment two weeks before Christmas, and received remdesivir under the clinic's protocol. His attorneys say a known side effect of the drug is kidney damage, which the patient suffered. By Dec. 22 he was on a ventilator, and now the hospital itself has said his chances of survival are less than 5%.
A reasonable person might wonder how a patient unsuccessfully treated with remdisivir ended up on a ventilator, with a 5% chance of survival, with no other options. That sounds like a protocol that could use some updating.

The 2 people I know of personally who have died of covid - actually died of the injuries caused by the respirator. One left the hospital to go to a nursing home where he was supposed to 'learn to breath again' - he didn't. The other had to be rushed to another city for surgery because of damage done by the respirator - they could not repair the damage.

My best friend died in October last year from Covid-19 when put in ICU on HFNC then on a ventilator he never recovered all his organs failed. He was given the Russian drug through infusion treatments too this didn't help because of his heart condition. RIP my friend.

While they have to work through the courts, the patient could die. I had read elsewhere that the early intubation and placement on ventilators was turning out to be a mistake. That oxygen via cannula was a better idea. I cannot find the link.
