ICU doctors say invasive ventilation continues to play an important role in covid care — though a diminished one. They concede that hospitals may have overused ventilators in the early months of the pandemic.

But Pittard said doctors slowly started to realize they could manage many patients without invasive ventilation. Most covid patients are now first given noninvasive respiratory support instead, such as high-flow nasal oxygen or continuous positive airway pressure, known as CPAP. Neither requires deep sedation or a tube down the throat. Only the sickest go on to invasive ventilators. |
