During my hospital residency in 2020, I worked in several ICUs, all of which had been converted to COVID-19 wards. Each new rotation in a COVID-19 ICU made us feel like we were patients who had just undergone CPR, been brought back to life, and were back on a ventilator for the next round. We repeated this pattern over and over again.

Is there a cardiac contributing factor to why patient cannot be weaned off the ventilator?

I think that’s something we’ve seen even with the most recent issues that came out, not new issues, but came to the surface with the racial reckoning that we saw in 2020 related to murders and deaths and killings and that sort of stuff that helps to reshape how we refer to different groups of individuals in our community.

As you mentioned, it was published in JAGS in 2020, and we really started from the time of inception of POLST, so in the early 1990s, up until about February 2020 was the date that we cut off. I can on one hand count the patients I’ve cared for who didn’t want mechanical ventilation. Eric: I think so.

And then being on a scarce resource committee during March, April 2020, man, it got really complicated and we spent hours and days trying to figure things out. And just trying to figure out when somebody got a vaccination for me is exceedingly confusing, it takes a while. Emily: Yeah.
