Abstract
The purpose of this project is to partly mitigate the shortage of ventilators, and of trained ventilator personnel, in the treatment of COVID-19- patients. In phase 1, we will produce an emergency ventilator from readily available parts, which may be set into production and be brought into use in case of shortage of commercially available ventilators. In phase 2, we will update the functionality of the ventilator to allow for the patient to breathe spontaneous and add computer software to control, or advise, on the use of the ventilator. This functionality is intended to make the ventilator easy to use for emergency staff, who may not be highly trained
