Does your ICU Doctor Know How To Effectively Save Lives?

Please pass this life giving information on to doctors you know.

Dr. Thomas Yadegar is the ICU Director at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center. He's a pulmonologist, and his California team hasn't lost a single patient to COVID 19. Better yet? They haven't used a single ventilator, either. How?
Dr. Yadegar says that this new coronavirus doesn't just trigger a response to the virus, but it can trigger negative immune system responses too. These auto immune responses can then lead to heart attacks, blood clots, strokes, or more. His team has learned to look for these signs, specific markers,  EARLY in patients, rather than searching for a quick fix -- or a one-size-fits-all -- approach to treating the virus. All cases differ, and THAT's the key to preventing loss of life. 
Please take the time to watch this 17 min video where Dr Thomas Yadegar explains how his group has treated the covid-19 in their ICU and not lost a single patient or used a single ventilator!
Pass this information along quickly to doctors to save lives.
Some doctors will resist simply because they want a quick fix to the corona virus covid-19 but this is exactly what doctors should not be using or looking for concerning the covid-19 virus.
I think this information I am sending you is a Real Life Giving Donation during this time.
I hope you will pass this life giving information to others.
Thank You



Editor Note


People are dying in ICU's all over the USA because many doctors are not aware of how to treat a COVID-19 patient in the ICU. Dr. Thomas Yadegar is the ICU Director at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center has and is saving lives treating the COVID-19 virus.

A key factor is treating each COVID-19 patient differently because each COVID-19 is different. Inflammatory markers in some patients are elevated and these patients suddenly get much worse.

They go from needing very little oxygen to the need to be intubated within 6 to 12 hours. If these patients are treated before they get to the point of needing to be intibated by using the inflammatory markers with anti inflamatory medication, strong immunine suppressive medication, which is counter intuitive, but THAT IS WHAT HAS WORKED FOR THESE PATIENTS!

Acting fast and early is the key to effectively treating a corona virus patient in an ICU. Early detection and early treatment will save lives! IF you are an ICU doctor please use this information to treat your ICU COVID-19 patients.

 California pulmonologist on how he's identifying and treating extreme COVID-19 cases
 
A California pulmonologist explained on “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday the protocol he created to help identify and treat the most extreme COVID-19 cases, saying the key is to find these patients and prevent them from going on ventilators.
The new coronavirus is spread by microscopic droplets from coughs or sneezes and causes mild to moderate symptoms in most. For some, especially older adults and the infirm, it can cause pneumonia and lead to death. Speaking from Los Angeles on Tuesday, Dr. Tom Yadegar, a specialist in critical care medicine who has been treating COVID-19 patients, said he noticed several patients were deteriorating quickly and needed to be put on ventilators. He said he realized that he had to find out why these patients were experiencing sudden deterioration.

 “This happened to me just like it's happened to every other doctor who is taking care of these patients and it was very alarming that I didn't understand what happened,” said Yadegar, medical director of the intensive care unit at Providence Cedars-Sinai Tarzana Medical Center. He said that prompted him to start researching what was happening to those COVID-19 patients. Yadegar explained that through his research he found out that “what was happening is a process called cytokine storm syndrome.”

According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), cytokine storm, which can occur as a result of infection, autoimmune conditions or diseases, is “a severe immune reaction in which the body releases too many cytokines into the blood too quickly.” “Cytokines play an important role in normal immune responses, but having a large amount of them released in the body all at once can be harmful,” NCI explained. On Tuesday, Yadegar explained that “in this syndrome, the immune system is activated – you have intense inflammation and subsequently it leads to patients requiring mechanical ventilation.”

He said once he figured out what the diagnosis was, he started doing more research to try and figure out “how do we look for it in a laboratory value so that we can find it before it happens because when it happens, it's almost too late.” He added that “it’s very important to find these patients and prevent them from going on ventilators.” Yadegar said he came up with “a handful of lab tests” that he thought were useful “and we started ordering them on admission when the patients were presenting to the ER [emergency room] and then tracking them every few days and it was a very clear pattern that we learned.”

He noted that it is not the case that every COVID-19 patient that is admitted to the hospital develops cytokine storm syndrome.

 “You can predict on presentation who is going to be at risk for it and then if you follow certain markers and their clinical course you can actually tell who is going to develop it and, more importantly, you can intervene to prevent them from getting to that point where they need a ventilator,” Yadegar said. He said that as people’s immune systems kick in, he has a better result by actually suppressing that person’s immune system, which he said was “pretty counterintuitive.”



DOCTORS PLEASE NOTE THIS:


 “For the past few months we have heard about this virus that's killing everyone," he said, "and the way to disarm it is disarm the immune system." Save lives by knowing when to disarm the immune system in COVID-19 patients. Know the signs, ie markers, by using lab tests like Dr Yadegar has done. Contact him if necessary to find out how he has saved lives. All his patients have survived and none have been on ventilators.

High-Risk Medical Errors

Sometimes, a medical error poses little physical risk to a patient, such as getting billed for a procedure that didn’t take place.  Other times, the consequences are life or death—and those types of high-risk medical errors typically occur in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, such as hospital emergency rooms, hospital intensive care units, and operating rooms in hospitals. But that doesn’t mean medical errors can’t happen at your care provider’s office or other outpatient settings.

Types of Medical Errors

Now that we’ve defined what counts as a medical error, what are the most common types of medical errors in the United States?
  • Misdiagnosis   (Note This.)
  • Billing errors
  • Incorrect medication/incorrect dosage
  • Incorrectly identifying a patient
  • Surgical errors

Misdiagnosis

Misdiagnosis occurs when a patient with one illness or disease is told they have a different illness or disease.  According to a 2014 study, roughly 12,000,000 Americans are misdiagnosed at outpatient facilities every year. The study’s authors concluded that this issue creates a “substantial patient safety risk” and should be addressed. Reducing the chance of patient harm should be a main priority. Of the 12,000,000 total Americans receiving a misdiagnosis, roughly 50 percent could be seriously harmed by getting the wrong diagnosis.



Bonus Editor Note:


Most people have no choice but to totally rely on what an ICU doctor is doing to a patient. If you don't know how a doctor is treating a patient with COVID-19 or are afraid to ask you or your loved one may be added to the misdiagnosis statistic! Don't be afraid to ask a couple of critical questions such as: How do you diagnose a COVID-19 patient?

You should be looking for this answer after asking these questions.

Are you looking and know the signs, ie markers, by using lab tests like Dr Yadegar has done?

Are you familiar with the protocols that Dr Yadegar has used to save lives and keep people off of ventilators?

If your doctor says he or she is not aware of DR Yadegar procedures or protocols you maybe talking to a doctor that is not aware of how to properly treat a COVID-19 patient.


The key to saving COVID-19 patients lives is knowing when to disarm the immune system in COVID-19 patients.


Inflammatory markers in some patients are elevated and these patients suddenly get much worse. They go from needing very little oxygen to the need to be intubated within 6 to 12 hours. If these patients are treated before they get to the point of needing to be intibated by using the inflammatory markers with anti inflamatory medication, strong immunine suppressive medication, which is counter intuitive, but THAT IS WHAT HAS WORKED FOR THESE PATIENTS!
