I will take personal responsibility for transporting the 20,000 ventilators anywhere in this country that they want, once we are past our apex. But don't leave them sitting in a stockpile, and say well we're going to wait and see how we allocate them across the country.

Ventilators are life-saving tools in the fight against COVID-19. They are durable medical devices intended to control or assist a critically ill patient's breathing by mechanically delivering them a predetermined percentage of oxygen.

Masks. Test Supplies. Ventilators. Gloves. Gowns. These are the most critical tools that our doctors, nurses and other first responders on the front line of the coronavirus pandemic need to continue their tireless work and save lives.

A journal of the 'subjective' kind I have always thought foolish, as nurturing a morbid self -consciousness in the writer; and yet, alone so much as I am, it is well to have some sort of a ventilator from the interior.

American Poet

Ventilators can be reused but hospitals need a sufficient supply to treat critically ill patients while still allowing enough time for each ventilator to be refurbished between patients.

Used in hospitals for patients who are seriously ill and cannot breathe on their own.

Medical Equipment

A critical tool in intensive care units; often associated with life-threatening conditions.

Besides humans, ventilators are used for animals in veterinary medicine too.

Not Just Humans

Found in homes and buildings for air exchange, contributing to a comfortable indoor environment.

Building Comfort

Some ventilators can help save energy by retaining heat while exchanging air.

Energy Efficiency

Especially in buildings, ventilators protect against weather elements while ventilating.

 don't use any ventilator pieces that are in the supply chain of current ventilators; make sure that we use as few parts as really necessary; make sure that we can get those parts anywhere in the world, because we want people in lots of different countries to be able to make these same things; and then make it easy to use,

Dan Goods: How NASA...

 trying to deal with a huge caseload of patients and then very sick patients and just scrambling to be really creative around these these limited resources that we have everything from personal protective equipment to the medications and space and ventilators and healthcare workers to just being in full-on

How health workers are...

 operation and we have to put you to sleep under general anesthesia and the anesthesiologist you see in this picture in his left hand he has a laryngoscope in his right hand he has an endotracheal tube and that's the tube that we connect to the ventilator that helps to breathe for you

 with multiple broken bones and multiple lacerations. He needs immediate surgery, seven units of blood, a mechanical ventilator to help him breathe and several more operations along the way. It's amazing he survived. But perhaps even more amazing, he was not wearing a seat belt.

Why it's so hard to make...

 there in trying to import with an air bridge medical equipment is urgent neither because in many countries there are not even enough ventilators just for the hospitals that already exist nevermind the onslaught of patients that are coming and perhaps most importantly

The alliances needed to...

 But mechanical ventilators take over the process, getting oxygen into the body when the respiratory system cannot. These machines can bypass constricted airways, and deliver highly oxygenated air to help damaged lungs diffuse more oxygen.

How do ventilators work?...

 despite the nerve pain and the spasms and the infections and the shortened life spans. And I accept that it is way more difficult for people who are paralyzed from the neck down. For those who rely on ventilators to breathe,

A love letter to realism...

 And she was barely breathing and she was blue. And the emerg. staff pulled out all the stops. They gave her medications to raise her blood pressure. They put her on a ventilator. And I was shocked and shaken to the core.

Brian Goldman: Doctors...

 In pandemics, robust, agile supply chains deliver the masks, ventilators, testing kits and vaccines that we all need. It saves lives, and it helps to reopen our economy.
