Livesave - Aparat pentru ventilatie mecanica

Patients with severe cases of COVID-19 need to be admitted to an intensive care unit, and often require breathing support, or even complete mechanical ventilation, so having access to ventilators is a matter of life or death.

Unfortunately, due to the rapid spread of the Corona virus and the large numbers of affected individuals, hospitals are overwhelmed and cannot provide ventilators for all patients in need.

While some countries such as Germany have 29 intensive care beds per 100 000 people, others such as Spain have only 10. In Spain for example every single one of their ventilators including new and old, even the transport models are currently in use.

That is why our team set out to create a reliable ventilating machine for the medical needs of a critically ill COVID-19 patient at a fraction of the cost of market ventilators.

We based our design on an MIT project, creating an advanced version that we are called LifeSave.
