Could the mechanical ventilators routinely used on COVID-19 patients be killing them? A growing body of evidence says yes. Both the intense pressure and the high levels of oxygen forced into patient’s lungs appear to be responsible for the damage caused by mechanical ventilators, which were first proven harmful in 1827 by French surgeon Leroy d’Etoille. Yet the public health disaster known as mechanical ventilation continues to this day.
In this article I’ll present the evidence suggesting mechanical ventilators are harming patients and doing precisely the opposite of their intended use – reducing cellular oxygenation rather than increasing it. I hope it helps you form your own opinion on the matter.
