SKULL.GIF posted:It's cool that the Western response to disaster is increasingly "well we can't really do anything about it, we'll have to get accustomed to it and live with it" Mass shootings are a uniquely American problem, to be fair. And some of us were trying to fight covid until recently.  NZ is still holding out.

post COVID posted:my brother just texted me 'do the chances of survival go down the longer you're intubated?' any MD goons want to weigh in? yes. being on a ventilator means your lungs are struggling to absorb any oxygen. if you don't have enough oxygen in your system a whole variety of awful stuff happens. if you could survive just with supplemental oxygen the hospital would do that instead, since being in an induced coma (which is required to be ventilated) also has a bunch of risks like blood clots, but they can't do that because then you'd die from essentially suffocating. it's real bad and has a very low survival rate

fosborb posted:lol Nate full transformation  The assumptions are the most important part of economics too, even if it is still bullshit. Basically he just wants to be a computer (like the old school kind that was a job for a person) and do math because he has no idea how anything actually loving works and being challenged makes him feel bad.

physics professor: "the derivative is just a function that describes the slope of a line at any point. the slope of a graph that is "position vs time" tells you what the velocity of the thing you are measuring is!" nate silver: "this formal math is very alienating and the concepts are just impossible to comprehend. i think instead i will major in the field that just has to wave its hands around and yell bullshit that rich people want to hear. as a bonus, i get to hear what lots of rich sociopaths have to say about poor people"

Not an MD but I'm a dietitian who has seen many covid vents- Yes generally speaking the longer on the vent they are going to have worse outcomes and have increasingly more bizarre problems as time goes on. Second worst case scenario is you are stable enough to get a tracheostomy and a PEG tube and go to an LTACH. Not sure how those patients do. Anecdotally Ive seen one come back to our hospital and I saw him again because he had gaping wounds in his rear end. He was doing well though and could eat and stuff and was working on walking again. He probably had the trach removed. He was in his 40s. This was pre vaccine era. Many patients are way at increased risk for pressure wounds because adjusting them in bed makes their oxygen drop the gently caress off so they can't move them much. Many also end up needing dialysis, seems like. Things get really exciting when they are third spacing fluids (especially their scrotum. Blows up like a lil balloon) and then they get to have like a paracentesis to drain out liters of fluid. It's a mess!!!!

I will also say none of what I said is unique to covid vent patients but man they stay on the vent a loving long time. Had one poor fifty something lady for like 45+ days. That's the thing to me about covid vents. They take for loving ever to either die (like 80%+ in my experience) or go to LTACH.

mod sassinator posted:why don't we have like a water tank floating bed for people that need to be vented for months at a time We do. They’re very expensive. Basically an inflated bed that changes where has the most pressure. But it can only do so much. At the end of the day people need to be turned and positioned. Turns out when you stop hiring cnas people get bed sores.
