Keeping the patient intubated, ventilator, induced coma, after 10 days, can consider bye bye.
once they unplug the machine, all will die..
damaged lung will regrow back if put on ventilator ?
no. permanent damage. But you need decision maker to ask to pull the plug.
that what is the point of on ventilator ?
Keep you alive. Long enough your immune system will beat the virus.
Then if you only had say 20% permanent loss of lung function you can go off ventilator and go back to living albeit with some difficulty and restrictions.
Or Keep you alive long enough that you have to decide when you need to pull the plug or to keep paying to be on ventilator for life.
20% loss. mean survive also jialat. walk a few meter panting like a dog
