The hospice nurse said that if my sister decided to vent at this point she would probably still die because of cell oxygenation and how little oxygen she is moving through her body. She said her o2 stats may look good on a pulsoc but that is only measuring the blood content not how much oxygen is in the cells. He said that what could happen if she decides to change her mind again and go full code the emts will intubate but once she get to the hospital they may decide she has no quality of life left for a vent, or they may vent to see that she cannot sustain life anyway because of the low cell oxygenation. Anyone heard of anything like this?
