- 97 - Splitting a Ventilator: Multipatient Ventilation for COVID?
Throughout the pandemic, there has been considerable discussion about the possibility of running our of ventilators. One potential solution that was brought forward was putting multiple patients on a single ventilator. This is a lot harder than merely attaching a plastic splitter on a ventilator. In this episode, we explain safety and physiological considerations. Also, we briefly discuss specific patient care issues and ventilator settings if your circumstance requires you to adopt this approach.
Thu, 23 Apr 2020 - 16min - 96 - Prone Ventilation for ARDS (COVID-19)
