Admiral Ray posted:they are bipaps. that company just likes calling them vpaps because of marketing. they are trash for idiots. i'm not a doctor, but have worked with medical devices before and still work with components for them, to elaborate a little bit CPAPs, BiPAPs and "non invasive ventilators" are what resmed makes. all of these devices rely on a mask on the face of the patient for air delivery (hence the non invasive part), and all of them can have supplemental oxygen added. a cpap provides a constant amount of pressure above ambient to keep your airway open. these devices measure pressure as a depth of water for whatever reason; a cpap will be able to be set at a single pressure something like 5 cm H2O and 20 cm H2O. because the pressure doesn't change, your lungs(/diaphram/whatever , i'm an EE not a MD) are still working as hard as they'd be before. the mask you're wearing allows outside air in and out. a bipap is similar to a cpap but it detects when you are inhaling or exhaling and changes the pressure. this does make it a little bit easier to breath. the change is going to be from like 15 cm H2O to 10 cm H2O or something (or idk doctors/nurses can correct these numbers I just have seen examples). otherwise it functions similarly to a CPAP. resmed's CPAPs and BiPAPs look near identical, it wouldn't surprise me if resmed's just differ by software load. you're still wearing the same mask as you would for a cpap and the air you're breathing in and out is the ambient air in the room (or air in the room with a little bit of extra oxygen) a non invasive ventilator (at least, one that might look like what musk donated) is extending a bipap to the widest possible pressure range but still has all the limitations of the cpap/bipap with regards to the actual air being used. these will cycle between (almost) 0 pressure (ie ambient) and the full pressure for a breath - something like 30 cm H2O and do this for every breath. this is much, much more demanding than the couple of cm H2O pressure changes in the CPAP/BiPAP. this also means that the machine is going to be providing most of the air the patient is breathing in and will actually measure and report what that volume is. inhaled air and exhaled air is still drawn in from and vented into the room though. a "normal" ventilator at the hospital in contrast to a portable like i described above will be a closed circuit. that means that not only is the amount of air controlled, but the composition is too. the exhaled air is also captured by the machine completing the circuit. this means that an anesthesiologist can add anesthetic gas to the breathing supply and whatever else they do (again, EE, not MD). the doctors are saying that this is the only thing that has a chance of helping a covid 19 patient. tldr: musk donated something that even if it worked would spread the virus throughout the room its in at pressure.

Well I'd like to think medical professionals aren't into eugenics as they dedicate their lives to saving people but I guess there can always be a few bad apples. Kind of scary to think about. Up to now the only triage I've heard of has been not choosing to put really old people on ventilators since they are not likely to ever get off of them. But I'm sure plenty of tricky decisions are being made and will be even more as time goes on. With probably not a lot of oversight. It's just up to the doctors and other health care personnel. Huh

A kindgoon was nice enough to link me a food help thingy but they don't deliver this far out. I'm an asthmatic with MS and a bunch of other health problems but I'm also only 33. But I'm also round like a pumpkin. Will I die on my upcoming food trip sometime later this week? who knows! I have amazing folks willing to ship me stuff but I need stuff that can't be shipped (like hay). I also have n95 masks and gloves, so maybe not! This shouldn't be a concern in a 1st world country, though

(dark oange means no BCG vaccine given to children) https://ghresearch.org/covid-19/could-bcg-vaccination-revaccination-protect-against-sars-cov2-disease/ quote:Multiple recent reports note the very low incidence of SARS-CoV2 in children. The striking age distribution of the disease raises the possibility that children derive some protection from an immune response to a previous antigenic exposure that is not present in adults. One exposure that might differentially affect children and adolescents is BCG, a vaccine given at birth in most countries in the world. An attenuated form of live Mycobacteria bovis, BCG has been used as a vaccine for tuberculosis since the 1920s. We and others have shown that the efficacy of neonatal BCG against tuberculosis wanes with age (which may be a proxy for time since vaccination) (1,2). I don't think that many kids in the US are dying, are they? twoday has issued a correction as of 21:01 on Apr 1, 2020 |

Like imagine patients that are being seen for covid that have a history of suicide attempts or even just mental issues on general. Do they get the ventilator before someone without those issues? I guess it's kinda paranoid to think about (thanks mental illness) but also kinda valid? Gonna be facing some major ethical decisions it seems.
