There has existed a severe ventilator deficit in much of the world for many years, due in part
to the high cost and complexity of traditional ICU ventilators. This was highlighted and …

The COVID-19 pandemic situation has called for an urgent need for the development of low
cost respiratory ventilators across the globe. Such ventilators must include functionalities to …

Respiratory failure complicates most critically ill patients with COVID-19 and is characterized
by heterogeneous pulmonary parenchymal involvement, profound hypoxemia and …

Background The manufacturing of any standard mechanical ventilator cannot rapidly be
upscaled to several thousand units per week, largely due to supply chain limitations. The …

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) created a shortage of mechanical
ventilators in the healthcare sector, resulting in rationed distribution, ethical dilemmas, and …

The COVID‐19 pandemic has produced critical shortages of ventilators worldwide. There is
