I have 6 younger male patients 27-55 who are vented and fairly complex to care for. Those patients could easily be fatalities in less robust medical systems. I cannulated a 35 y/o we had been trying to get by on nippv for vv ecmo today immediately after intubation and that is basically a fatality without access to ecmo, ie most of the world.
