From Rapid Manufacturing to Clinical Use: A Retrospective Observational Study of an Emergency Ventilator During the COVID-19 Pandemic
This is the first report of real-life clinical use of a rapidly manufactured emergency ventilator during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results confirm that such devices, if well-designed, can provide effective respiratory support when conventional ventilators are unavailable.
