Recommendations. For mechanically ventilated adults with COVID-19 and ARDS: The Panel recommends using low tidal volume (VT) ventilation (VT 4–8 mL/kg of predicted body weight) over higher VT ventilation (VT >8 mL/kg) (AI). The Panel recommends targeting plateau pressures of <30 cm H2O (AIIa).
Why might you be placed on a ventilator to treat COVID-19?
When your lungs inhale and exhale air normally, they take in oxygen your cells need to survive and expel carbon dioxide. COVID-19 can inflame your airways and essentially drown your lungs in fluids.
A ventilator mechanically helps pump oxygen into your body.
How long does someone typically stay on a ventilator due to COVID-19?
Some people may need to be on a ventilator for a few hours, while others may require one, two, or three weeks. If a person needs to be on a ventilator for a longer period of time, a tracheostomy may be required. During this procedure, a surgeon makes a hole in the front of the neck and inserts a tube into the trachea.
