Huh? Sorry did not watch a 1 hour video...

Ventilated, intubated people are sedated and basically unconscious. What would be the point of submerging them? If they aren't sedated to the point of seeing a fish, they tend to rip out their endotracheal tube.

Ventilated doesn’t always mean intubated via endotracheal tube. Long term ventilation is usually through a tracheostomy tube so patients can be fully alert.

True, but this seemed covid focused at the start at least.

Sorry if I confused you. ventilator dependent just means they need a ventilator to breath, it doesn't mean they are hospitalized. Here is a today show story about the first ventilator dependent diver in the world, Matt Johnson, that Diveheart help to train to dive.
