[quote=Anonymous][b]NY Doctor Finds Odd Lung Patterns[/b]
Assessing the outcomes of COVID-19 patients on ventilators, Brooklyn emergency room physician Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell found worse outcomes than expected. He told Medscape that around 70% of COVID-19 patients on ventilators never recover, based on his research.

[b]What's more, the doctor noticed disturbing patterns he had never seen before. COVID-19 patients on ventilators sometimes showed extremely low blood-oxygen concentrations during ventilation, he said. Despite doctors' best efforts, he reported seeing concentrations of oxygen in blood at 10% to 20%, and sometimes even lower – a healthy blood oxygen level is above 95 percent, according to the British Lung Foundation.

Not only that, but some COVID-19 patients seem less obviously impaired by their low blood oxygen levels than he expected.

"In the past, we haven't seen patients who are talking in full sentences and not complaining of overt shortness of breath, with (blood oxygen) saturations in the high 70s," he said. "You get used to seeing certain patterns, and the patterns I was seeing did not make sense."
