Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) can support ventilation/oxygenation & potentially avoid the need for invasive ventilation.
This #Onepager covers the basics of NIPPV: when to use it (& when NOT to), interfaces, & modes of ventilation.

Got this from a clinician at a major Sydney hospital. “Hospital swamped. More than 100 staff furloughed. 30 covid positive & 50 amber. It will be increasingly hard to do anything else. It’s difficult to describe how furious we are with perrotet. He will destroy the health system”

Our COVID figures today:
The Alfred: 44
ICU: 29 (COVID+ & ongoing care)
Ventilator: 8
ECMO: 13
ICU specialist Jamie Cooper said those in the ICU are largely unvaccinated.
"94% of COVID ICU patients aren't double vaxxed.
"Protect yourself, those you love and the community."

ACEM - Change: it’s unsustainable for emergency clinicians to work in an access-blocked, overcrowded & under-resourced environment. In the COVID-19 era, there can be no tolerance for over-capacity hospitals, overcrowded emergency departments, and ramped ambulances @acemonline
So many junior Doctors think it is their role to find the acceptable Doctor in these circumstances, reinforcing unacceptable behaviour #calloutracism

Let’s bust a myth!
There’s a common misconception that by calling an ambulance, you’ll be seen faster on arrival at hospital.
This just isn’t the case - all patients are triaged based on the severity of their illness.
Help us save lives. Save Triple Zero (000) for emergencies.

🚨During surges, much is written about healthcare workers burning out. But they often get by on adrenaline only to find, once ICUs are empty, that so are they.
In the US, 1/5 have left. More plan too. I wrote about the hemorrhage happening right now. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
Averaging 4 wks in ICU plus ward time after discharge from ICU. Only first 14 days post symptoms counted as COViD burden #COVID #ICU

This is happening in every major and most minor ICUs in Melbourne & Victoria right now. This is living with COVID.
This is what is happening in our ICU and others in Australia

It's important to remember that, as we "open up" the hospital systems will be facing huge patient loads and risks; dragging on for many,many months. The "new normal" is a long way away for health systems.. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
