VANCOUVER As beleaguered medical professionals care more seriously ill COVID-19 patients in B.C. hospitals than ever before, those with first-hand experience with ventilators are sharing the dangerous and even life-altering fallout facing patients who’ve relied on the machines. Despite intensive care units overflowing, B.C.’s Health Minister Adrian Dix has assured the public there are enough ventilator machines to support the sickest patients through the pandemic’s third wave. Still, the numbers have done little to capture the harsh reality and dangers that come with what doctors consider a last resort. “We know when we commit a patient to a ventilator we’re committing them not just to being on a breathing machine, but to all the complications that can go along with that as well,” said St. Paul’s Hospital ICU physician, Dr. Ruth MacRedmond, who said high-flow oxygen is the first step to help struggling patients.
