I know a Dr. who was able to advocate and convince a CC doctor to administer IVM to a vented patient. It dropped his Fio2 from 100% to 60% in less than 24hrs. He used the Peer Reviewed published ICON study and that's what convinced the CC doctor. The patient was in FL.
Now that the NIH has changed their guidance it should be a bit easier. Although it will still be a hard sell. I've failed a few times myself in advocating for IVM in hospitalized patients.
