- nabla9 7y agoBiPap is not ventilator alternative. They are completely different type devices. You never put anyone into ventilator until they absolutely need it. At some point oxygen or air is not helping because removing carbon dioxide becomes an issue. Being in ventilator is super unconformable and gruesome. Catheter (endotracheal tube) is inserted into windpipe. Patients are sedated. In the case of covid-19 they are usually placed on their stomach and lay there with the help of opioids+anesthetic drugs.
