This sounds crass and is going to be unpopular, but in order to save a person's life sometimes we have to do harm to them.
Case in point, when giving life saving cpr, you will most likely break the ribs.
Why are we not doing emergency liposuction if the fat is getting in the way of the breathing? I realize not all fat is subcutaneous and most may be intravascular, but it's not something that is done. Why?

There's a limit to how much fat can be safely removed. If a person is already sick and requiring ventilation, exposing them to additional trauma is likely only going to speed their demise.
