Should we move away from single rooms to putting all the critically ill in one large room like recovery rooms where we can ventilate multiple patients at once with one vent, gown and mask up for a shit with one mask and gown, & pack in resources. Why or why not?
might there be a way to safely throw a drape/makeshift helmet /tent over CPAP patients? Personally I would hate to go straight to intubated+sedated (and then possibly dead) without at least a trial of NiV..

In any other circumstance, you’re not wrong, this simply not worth the risk.

i worry about the staffing ratios of all of these intubated +sedated patients... will we have the healthy bodies + meds to monitor them all safely in ICU? CPAP you can give them a mask and leave them alone for a bit...
