    Not just this. I'm also hearing reports of shortages of the sedatives and paralytics necessary to keep people on ventilators comfortable. Being on a ventilator while conscious is a horrific experience!https://twitter.com/NAChristakis/status/1241864708744937472 …

    People are focused on ventilators & anti-virals, but, sadly, as a former hospice doctor, I'm worried we may not have enough opioids & anxiolytics to treat people we cannot give ventilators to, to ease suffering. I hope we are planning, though I fervently hope none of this happens

        I heard a shortage of Propofol. That will be horrible. 😬

        We've nearly runned out of midazolam here, our government had to push for a wide use of clonazepam instead in supportive care. And this one is becoming scarce too

        We’ve been dealing with shortages of IV bags off and on for a few years now. There may not be enough IV fluid to deliver drugs.

        I’d always thought that a pt on a ventilator was kept in a medically-induced coma, but I’ve read that the trend has been to use sedation to keep pt comfortable but conscious. I cannot imagine being alert w/o sedation on a ventilator.
