Quickly in adapted automotive or aerospace factories around the world. if everybody puts the pedal to the metal and goes full speed, i think this could be ramped up in very large numbers pretty quickly. its certainly inspiring to see how engineers around the world are coming together to work on this problem in the face of many challenges. but getting out cheaper, faster solutions could be critical for people everywhere where ventilators are scarce. that wasjen, and lets hope that technology real...

If the prototype succeeds, they want to make it freely available to those most in need. when we think about third world countries, where there is, like, extremely huge populations, and theyre not that developed in the medicalfield, people will die due to a lack of equipment. we also saw a sophisticated solution which could be made quickly. in canada, thornhill medical, whose battery—powered ventilators are used by the us military, have been asked by the government there to ramp up production. ...

We were told to limit all of our activities and stay at home. this comes as the world health 0rganization says the pandemic is accelerating across the globe. hospitals everywhere are facing a shortage of equipment, including ventilators. this life—saving equipment helps patients to breathe in the most critical cases when their lung function fails. the uk currently has around 8,000 ventilators in the country, but needs many more. so, how do we urgently get access to more of these machines? can ...

We start making assertions like that. there is a preliminary laboratory evidence that this drug may be useful in terms of limiting viral replication and there are three studies, all of them controversial, which may or may not show, it would be a huge mistake to provide this drug on a large scale without the proper evidence that it actually helps people, because there is no drug on this planet that doesnt have side effects, including hydroxychloroquine, and we shouldnt be making drugs widely avai...

Leave their homes as it announces a new record number of deaths in the past 2a hours. in the uk, government—commissioned trials for possible treatments begin. now on bbc news, its click. the race to make more ventilators. robots on the frontline. and how to look sharp on a digital date. this week, the uk went into lockdown over the continuing coronavirus crisis.

Fully protected and delivered the important service that they do. the government says it‘s working around the clock to give the social care sector the equipment and support it needs the english local authorities have written to the health secretary to say supplies are not reaching the front line. councils across england are so front line. councils across england are so worried about the shortage of masks for carers that they are appealing to a closed nail bars, construction firms, anyone who h...

Tested on the international space station. if the prototype succeeds, they want to make it freely available to those most in need. when we think about third world countries, where there is, like, extremely huge populations, and theyre not that developed in the medicalfield, people will die due to a lack of equipment. we also saw a sophisticated solution which could be made quickly. in canada, thornhill medical, whose battery—powered ventilators are used by the us military, have been asked by t...

Were really down to the bare bones now of masks and gel, in terms of supplies. and we are desperate, really, to try and get some more equipment through quickly so our care staff can be fully protected and deliver the important service that they do. the government says its working around the clock to give the social care sector the equipment and support it needs but english local authorities have written to the health secretary to say supplies are not reaching the front line. councils across engl...

At some of the possible solutions. the uk government has put a call—out to big businesses to help manufacture new ventilators. already, dyson have answered saying they are hoping to start production on 10,000 machines by mid—april. but will this be enough, soon enough? teams of engineers and doctors are also trying to come up with more immediate solutions to this problem, which could be cheaper and more portable. we spoke to some of them this week. most are committed to making their designs ...

Their designs open—source and freely available, once they have been tested. these machines need to work 2a hours a day for up to m days at a time per patient. 50 set to respirate 15... a team from the university of oxford and kings college london have quickly designed what they think is a workable ventilator which could go into production right away, called 0xvent. it was presented to the uk cabinet this week and was made to special covid—19 regulations that the government published. ..and i...
