E-VENT: Emergency ventilator design toolbox
I can't find it at the moment, but I recall seeing a report from China that 80% of COVID-19 patients placed on ventilators still ended up dying. I assume that's not the case in the US? (does anyone have stats on this yet?)<p>I also recall seeing (again, can't find it right now) a scientist concerned about the potential for widespread usage of ventilators to rapidly increase the prevalence antibiotic resistant bacteria.<p>My point is, having as many ventilators as we need is good, but it's even better to not need the ventilators in the first place. I hope we don't fixate on ventilators too much at the expense of mitigation and other treatments.
