Abstract
Global health care systems are at risk of critical ventilator shortages requiring triage of mechanical ventilation. In this study led by Stephen Richardson, MD, from the Department of Anesthesiology, researchers aim to build a low-cost, scalable mechanical ventilator that will augment existing medical equipment to increase availability of mechanical ventilation worldwide, even in low resource areas.
