[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2322776, member: 196898"] In my part of the world, they are already getting frail and vulnerable people to sign DNR forms which ensure they do not see the working end of a ventilator They have gone round the care homes and the special schools, and also those in receipt of Adult Services care packages at home. The GP's are next to be visited. The excuse is that ventilators are brutal pieces of equipment that cause more damage than cure. They will, however, use oxygen and CPAP equipment but that does not need intensive care admission and is done in a normal ward. I was given this treatment last year where they took a nebulizer and connected it to the O2 supply and it worked for me. From what I understand, using a ventilator requires a coma to be chemically induced and this also carries great risk. [/QUOTE]
