'This pandemic is our World War II.' An up-close look at how a Florida hospital fights to save Covid-19 patients
CNN
A woman in a Florida hospital is struggling to breathe. She is about to be intubated, an all-too-familiar procedure as hospitals struggle with the surge in Covid-19 patients. "This is one of the worst waves that I've experienced," said Dr. Hudman Hoo, the medical director of St. Anthony's Hospital's ICU ward in St. Petersburg.
Surrounded by medical equipment and personnel working to keep her alive, she is gasping for air as doctors and nurses prepare for a procedure that has become all too common in the last 18 months: intubation. The woman is sedated to allow doctors access her airway so they can get her on a ventilator.More Related News
