Hi, it’s Patrik Hutzel from intensivecarehotline.com with another quick tip for families in intensive care.

Now, yesterday, we had an inquiry from a client who said that their loved one has been diagnosed with COVID, went into the hospital, got diagnosed with COVID pneumonia, then, ended up on a hospital floor, and initially on a hospital ward initially ended up on high flow nasal prongs, which is, humidified oxygen and also gives a little bit of a PEEP (Positive End-Expiratory Pressure). And I’m not going to too much detail into PEEP. Anyone familiar with ICU, even who had a loved one in ICU with the ventilator probably knows by now what the PEEP is. And I’ve blogged about this in numerous videos and blog posts. You can look it up on our website, just type in PEEP into the search box.

Anyway, the client ended up on a hospital floor, hospital ward, with high flow nasal prongs and then needed BiPAP. And then once they were on BiPAP, their oxygen levels and PEEP levels and pressure of support levels were going up and to the point where they could barely remove the BiPAP mask any longer, because they were desaturating. Their oxygen levels dropped so quickly that they literally were at the point of either intubation in ICU or potentially dying.
