We were sad and worry after stumbling across a triage list in our state regarding medical resources (device and treatment), it is not surprising to see metastatic cancer patients make the exclusion list. So I have been looking for way to provide some care (using CPAP or Bi-Pap or other methods) for our self if it comes to that. The below set of articles are hopeful with respect to respiratory failure (and something we can do at home), the dominant mode of Covid-19 disease. I hope a large number of ER physicians read these articles, not so much for preventing ventilator shortage but for other oxygenation paradigms that could benefit covid-19 patients.
