Proning, low tidal volume & PEEP to help the patients with mechanical ventilation and to improve outcomes. Appears to be needed to re-inflate and recruit the alveoli that need to be re-recruited. I wonder if there may be a wayward child
Please widely disseminate Dr. Angus' comments on organizing, about 45 min. into video. This is the strategy used in large public accounting firms, and works well: Pyramid structure, with quasi-expert good leaders at top and multiple readily available expert consultants to advise. His caveat just thereafter is well noted: you need someone who can intuitively detect and anticipate when the patient is on the verge of serious problems. Thanks for great vid.
Visitation should not be allowed in ICU during a pandemic. It is a sad reality of an already horrendous situation. To use valuable ppe that could save a healthcare workers life is unacceptable. These patients are sedated and relatives must understand that the risk is too high. Until you are in the war that Italy is currently enduring, you will not be even able to comprehend the severity of it. Were parents of critical soldiers during WW1 or WW2 airlifted in to frontline battlefields to say 'goodbye' to their loved ones? This is a very serious war, and while unfortunate, we must all realize this.
The reason ppl are so excited about the malaria drug is bc you don't have healthcare in the USA. It is not popular here in Canada, where we follow science.
During the first wave of SARS in Toronto, very aggressive IV meds destroyed organ capacity for longterm in patients. The second wave of SARS patients were not given the aggressive anti-virals. Can you concentrate on the decisions discussed?
Plaquenil the medication used in Lupus and RA patients was noted and used because those patients on it DIDN'T get COVID-19. If given in the onset it really dropped viral load and replication. Of course, there are possible side effects but for those who can continue on it it can work wonders.

Hydroxychloroquine, azathioprine, and zinc show a lot of promise in keeping infected patients OFF of ventilators. Unfortunately, some of these drug trials are only being used on intubated patients who are dying. And if it doesn't work in those dire circumstances, the medical community simply announces that the treatment doesn't work at all.

I am surprised at your ideas at how to manage the COVID situation in the outpatient setting. Please have more respect for the roles that outpatient physicians have in this pandemic.
Aren't anti malarials generally given routinely as a prophylactic for relatively healthy traveller's who journey to areas of malaria risk? Sounds like an ideal medication to trial as preventative on an outpatient basis, to volunteer participants.
Such a great interviewer, thank you so much, Dr.Bauchner! Great interview series! Thank you, Dr. Angus for such valuable information.

For coverage in the tiered model or tele model don't forget about utilization of acute care trained nurse practitioners.
I was just going to ask about the use of CPAP usage, but with monitoring
Which N95 does he use with that goatee?
Dr.'s hair keeps me mesmerized....

What about using prone with a degree of trendelenberg positioning in the ARDS patient? Would this enhance the oxygen level?

is there a more recent update?
Any knowledge yet of the long term lung damage? And respiratory capacity afterwards?
Bravo to you both. Phenomenal overview

Plaquenil is science. You're going to wish Canada was like USA healthcare. It has worked in many.

Still to be published, perhaps next week

Ivermectin is cheap, probably more effective and safer as a prophylactic and first line treatment.
