They refuse to use BiPAP during the day and use it at night while in the ICU. 20/6 x16 35%. Breathes room air during the day. Pco2 and PH have not budged whatsoever. Difficult patient hates the BiPAP which I’m wondering if it’s even helpful due to how the blood gases are reflected. They have a heart surgery scheduled soon but because of that Pco2 it doesn’t look likely. What’s the next step to suggest to the doctors?
