Doctors intubate patients to reduce Covid-19 mortality

In recent weeks, from Italy to the United States, a debate has risen among the doctors treating Covid-19 patients: when should they be placed on an artificial respirator? This is one of the biggest questions today, as well as those on the real effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, says an American doctor to AFP.

The lifts are patchy and studies are still lacking in the middle of the pandemic, without much hindsight. It is impossible to know if the people who died on respirators would have survived otherwise.
