SCCM Resource Library-Noninvasive Oxygenation Strategies for COVID-19 Patients on the Hospital Ward

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Dr. Roshini Sridharan moderates a crosstalk on non-invasive oxygenation strategies in COVID-19 patients on the ward. The discussion includes Dr. Brahm Raushwerk and Dr. Hailey-Beth Gershenjohn, who share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. They discuss the challenges faced in developing protocols for oxygenation strategies, the fear and apprehension around non-invasive tools, such as high flow and non-invasive ventilation (NIV), and the shifting perspectives and evolving protocols as new information emerges. They also touch on the use of helmets as an alternative to traditional NIV masks, and the importance of transparent communication and collaboration among healthcare providers. The speakers note the differences in perspectives between intensivists and non-intensivists in considering the need for intubation and the management of oxygenation strategies. They also discuss the cautious approach to patients who remain positive for COVID-19 and require oxygen after intubation, and the considerations for infection control and patient care in these cases. Overall, the discussion highlights the ongoing challenges and adaptations in managing COVID-19 patients on the ward and the importance of evidence-based decision-making and communication.
