This. Also, he didn't just go half-assed. He consulted to see what was needed. -- (edited) - TWuG Apr 1, 21:23 4
- better than nothing in a pinch, but the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued guidance more than a month ago that they shouldn't be used. - mafic Apr 1, 21:34 3
  - That was a month ago. Other medical orgs (overseas, mostly) made bipap (different from cpap) work. - TWuG Apr 1, 21:38 2
    - it's for both cpap and bipap, and still stands now. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 21:40 1
      - I would expect the advisory to change in the face of the escalating crisis. If it doesn't change, a lot of people will die who don't need to. -- nm - TWuG Apr 1, 21:55
