NHS data has revealed that 66 per cent of coronavirus patients on ventilators in the UK will die from the disease. A new report has found that of the 98 patients who relied on the breathing machine…

The report from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Center analysed the first 775 patients with severe coronavirus across 285 intensive care units.

They are different from a respirator, which is a protective face mask that stops the user from inhaling hazardous airborne particles — such as the N95 respirators that hospital staff need to protect themselves from getting infected by coronavirus patients. Production is said to be ramping up in factories across Britain to get to the crucial 30,000 ventilators needed.It also suggested that men were at a higher risk from the virus as 70 per cent of all ICU patients were male - and 30 per cent of men in critical care were under 60, compared to just 15 per cent of women.⚠️ Read ALLMore than 70 per cent of patients were overweight, obese or clinically obese according to body mass index.

Only 18 patients had "severe co-morbidities", such as underlying heart conditions or lung disease, while two patients had been pregnant within the last six weeks. The Nightingale Hospital was built with the help of the military and will initially provide up to 500 beds equipped with ventilators and oxygen.

The British Medical Association's latest ethics advice said health professionals could be forced to make "grave decisions" should hospitals become overwhelmed with patients.
