The potential for acute shortages of ventilators at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic has
raised the possibility of needing to support two patients from a single ventilator. To provide a …

Background Surges of COVID-19 infections have led to insufficient supply of mechanical
ventilators (MV), resulting in rationing of MV care. In-parallel, co-mechanical ventilation (Co …

Surges of COVID-19 infections could lead to insufficient supply of mechanical ventilators,
and rationing of needed care. Multiplexing mechanical ventilators (co-MV) to serve multiple …

This paper evaluates the impact of battery charging and discharging times on the availability
of mechanical respirators in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The availability of these life …

In this work a shared pressure-controlled ventilation device for two patients is considered. By
the use of different valves incorporated to the circuit, the device enables the restriction of …

Results: Based on the findings from these sources, a plan to establish ten-bedded ICU units
specifically for COVID-19 is evolved. The best practices and latest guidelines and …

The outbreak of the Covid-19 virus prompted many engineers and researchers around the
world to seek to develop mechanical ventilation devices and make them easy to use and …
