I read that CPAP type machines may blow the virus all over the room, so they are considered dangerous for highly infectious COVID patients.
Take a look at the link I posted earlier to a document about all the different medical devices needed and the pros/cons for simple or home-made substitutions. -- Ralph ________________________________________ From: Dale Ertley via Emc-users [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 23, 2020 3:42 PM To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Cc: Dale Ertley Subject: Re: [Emc-users] linuxcnc openlung ventilators CAUTION: This email originated from outside the Walla Walla University email system. What is the chance that a BIPAP (twopressure system) machine could be used as a “first line” for a ventilator? A CPAP (single pressure system) may also work. It might even work with an O2concentrator. Pressures could be raised andlowered if necessary. I don’t think it could be used with patientintubation. There are millions of them outthere.
