Why is the ventilator so important in this epidemic?
Ventilator, an artificial substitute for autonomous ventilation equipment, is widely used in respiratory failure, anesthesia and respiratory management during major surgery, respiratory support treatment and rescue and resuscitation.
This time, Covid-19 mainly attacked people’s lungs, which made people unable to breathe normally. Especially for critically ill patients, almost all of them have to maintain their lives through ventilators.
So during the epidemic,
Having an adequate ventilator is equivalent to having hope for life!
However, with the outbreak of the global epidemic and the fact that many Europeans and Americans don’t wear masks, they become seriously ill faster. Therefore, there is a serious shortage of hospital ventilators in many countries.
After everyone realized the importance of ventilators, they rushed to buy and increase orders. For a time, the price of ventilators is rising,
According to reports, a ventilator with an original price of 250,000 yuan,
After an hour, it rose to more than 300,000.
This has also led to many economically poor areas not having enough money to buy ventilators.
Although many car companies stop production of cars and end up producing ventilators. For example, General Motors, Ferrari, Tesla, Ford and other car companies will switch to the production of ventilators and other medical equipment.
However, it will take 8-10 weeks to complete this kind of transformation.
The patient can’t wait at all …..
Sad scenes.
Because there are not enough ventilators, tragedies are being staged all over the world.
A doctor in Spain once wrote on Twitter, "Most doctor, I cry every night, but I will continue to work the next day. Hospitals are overcrowded, and the corridors are full of patients. The elderly over 65 were forced to take off the ventilator, use sedatives to suppress the pain, and wait quietly for death. Because there are not many ventilators, they can only be left to younger people. "

Sydney News knows first!
This is very similar to Italy, the "epicenter" of Europe. In order to leave medical resources to the younger generation, elderly people have to give up their own opportunities.
Life is not easy, or hard,
But who is really willing to give up their lives?
It’s because everything is forced,
Because of the ventilator shortage.
In fact, it is easy to think of the time.
The despair of the old people when they make such decisions,
And expectations for the next generation!
One ventilator for two people!
Emergency is effective, but controversial!
In order to solve the problem of ventilator shortage as soon as possible and save more lives, Australian scientists have verified the ventilator disassembly technology!
This technology can transform a ventilator to provide oxygen for two or more patients.
In this way, the demand for ventilators will be reduced, and oxygen can be delivered to patients as soon as possible, shortening the waiting time for new ventilators to be put into use. Buy time for patients and control the epidemic!
However, researchers from Monash, Alfred University and Royal Melbourne Women’s Hospital said that there were still risks in ventilator disassembly technology, and there might even be cross-infection.
Because of the different ventilation needs between patients, the ventilator disassembly technology may lead to other exchanges between patients and even cross infection.
Lack of monitoring of individual flow and pressure and irregular pressurization may lead to the death of oxygen inhalers.
To this end, this technology is still a challenge!
However, Sean Gregory of Monash University said: "We hope that one day we can get great guarantee through this ventilator splitting method, so we can help save lives in an emergency.
Although this technology still needs further experiments to prove its feasibility. But this technology in Australia has undoubtedly brought new hope for the current shortage of ventilators.
I hope that one day soon, Australian experts will really find a safe and feasible technology to disassemble the ventilator! Of course, the most hopeful thing is the epidemic. Please hurry over!
