There was a small film on French TV France3 yesterday showing how UK based Formula one teams based in the UK are working together to develop and produce ventilators. Within two weeks a high efficiency ventilator has been developed and one of the factories (Mercedes?) would be able to produce 1000 units per day now.
Hi Eric,
what Mercedes have developed is a version of a C-Pap machine, not quite a full ventilator but something that can be used before full mechanical ventilation is required. It hooks up to the hospital oxygen supply and uses a mask covering nose and mouth.
I hope you are all well
Neil
