Re: Blood Oxygen
As we all know that we can last max ten minutes without Oxygen and when people are struggling to breathe and desperate for Oxygen, the medical procedure is to give the patient an Oxygen Mask if they can breathe on their own or Intubate the patient shove a big fat tube down the throat gagging the patient and preventing him for eating swallowing or speaking. Nice way to kill a sick person in my Opinion.
Every time a patient dies of covid in a Hospital ICU I believe it is not the covid that killed the patient but the intubation and humongous stress put on lungs already suffering from Pneumonia .
There has to be a better way to maintain blood oxygen levels.
My question is Drips are used to add Saline solutions, Blood Plasma, Blood Transfusions, Platelets, we can even take all the blood out and pass it through a machine for Dialysis, we can give antibiotics using drips.
This being the case why cannot Blood be Oxygenated directly bypassing the already struggling lungs.
Imagine Patients suffering from Cystic Fibrosis of the lungs on a respirator ?
Is there a reason why this is not possible ?
This is my new Research Topic.
If you have any valuable suggestions kindly drop me a note
