Are ventilators killing many COVID-19 patients?


Dr. Cameron Kyle-Sidell, a doctor treating COVID-19 patients in New York City's Maimonides Medical Center, warns that the medical community may be wrong about the nature of the coronavirus and how it is said to cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Transcript from a recent video: 
In treating these patients, I have witnessed medical phenomena that just don’t make sense in the context of treating a disease that is supposed to be a viral pneumonia. Nine days ago I presume that was opening intensive care unit to treat patients with a virus causing a pneumonia that was ravaging lungs across the world starting out as something mild: cough and a sore throat, and progressively increasing in severity until ultimately ending in something called Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or ARDS.

I don’t know the final answer of this disease, but I’m quite sure that the ventilator is not it, that is not to say that we don’t need ventilators. We absolutely need them. They are the only way at this time that we are able to get a little more oxygen to patients who need it. But when we treat people with ARDS, we typically use ventilators to treat what’s called a respiratory failure, that is  we use the ventilator to do the work that the patient muscles can no longer do because they’re too tired to do it. These patients’ muscles work fine. I fear that we are using a false paradigm to treat a new disease that the method that we program the ventilator one based on the notion of respiratory failure as opposed to oxygen failure, that this method (and they are a great many number of methods we can use with the ventilator)  but this method being widely adopted at this very moment and every hospital in the country, which aims to increase pressure on the lungs in order to open them up, is actually doing more harm than good, and that the pressure we are providing that we are providing to lungs, we may be providing to lungs that cannot stand it, that cannot take it in, and that the ARDS that we are seeing, that the whole world is seeing, maybe nothing more than lung injury caused by the ventilator.
