That may be it yeah! I'm not sure where I read about it originally though.

If no one survived the ventilation I'd like to believe that doctors are smart enough to realize that something was up.
Coronavirus Clinical CollaborationOne estimate suggests 3% of all COVID-19 pts require intubation, with about a 50% survival chance on the ventilator (Meng, et. al)
i have also inhaled either pure co2 or carbogen many times and enjoy it but i still think any pure air can be better than air in most buildings
Fascinating, never considered the angle of essential oils being emitted having such profound effects.Besides giving off O2, trees and plants also give off essential oils (terpenes and other compounds) which reduce anxiety and have some subtle effects on health and the nervous system.

There are a substantial number of clinical trials concerning the efficacy of mask CPAP that can be used to defend the position that this therapy ought be developed into what is considered routine and expected treatment of acute respiratory insufficiency. The literature is particularly strong for its use in COPD and pulmonary edema. Successful use has also been reported with asthma, PCP pneumonia, neuromuscular weakness, post-operative respiratory distress, and traumatic lung contusions. The use of NIVS in acute respiratory failure is associated with prompt improvement in acid-base balance as determined by arterial blood gases obtained within the first few hours. Any patient with acute respiratory distress significant enough to result in more than mild accessory muscle use should be considered for this technique. Off-loading the respiratory muscles early in the presentation of acute respiratory failure, and supporting respiration while waiting for medical therapy (bronchodilators, steroids, antibiotics, diuretics, or nitrates) to have their effects, can potentially result in more rapid improvement and a lower incidence of intubation. All Emergency Departments should have rapid access to at least one mode of Non-invasive Ventilatory Support. If you do not have access to a BiPAP machine, mask ventilation can be easily accomplished using a standard ventilator by simply substituting a facemask for an endotracheal tube as the interface between patient and ventilator. However, for optimal performance, a later generation ventilator is required ( i.e., Puritan Bennett 7200, Siemans 900c, Siemans 300 ).
In summary, the use of NIVS should be considered early in the course of moderately severe acute respiratory failure. It is clear that use of NIVS is well tolerated and is associated with improved gas exchange and avoidance of intubation in appropriately selected patients with acute respiratory failure. It is simple and convenient to use, and has the potential to decrease both morbidity and costs when compared to standard invasive mechanical ventilation. Any patient with significant accessory muscle use, hypoxia, or respiratory acidosis could potentially benefit from its use. If you do not yet have easy access to CPAP or BiPAP in your Emergency Department, I would encourage to obtain it.
Preventing intubation in acute respiratory failure: Use of CPAP and BiPAP
Wow, not good.
What about "banana bags"? I'd think they are widely available to treat substance abuse and alcoholic patients coming in. Can a person ask for a "banana bag" if they get admitted?
Yes, we have them. A person could definitely request one.
