Tour2ma Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Bennett? So nine hoses on one machine... why not 12? or 15? Cross contamination... differing lung capacities... differing lung elasticities... differing degrees of lungs being compromised by pneumonia... Probably the reason the innovator himself said... Quote "At one point we may not have other options," Gauthier told CBC News. "The option could be well, we let people die or we give that a chance." In other words the modification is in the same category as drug trails on the critically ill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about one deluxe ventilator and just running hoses everywhere...🙂 Expanding the capacity of one ventilator though is something I think to consider in an emergency where there are no other good options, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
