Geisinger researchers explore safety of ventilator sharing to mitigate equipment shortages
,
Using a single ventilator to support two patients could be feasible in crisis situations involving a ventilator shortage, researchers have found.
A team of clinical investigators from Geisinger partnered with Bucknell University and Kitware, a New York-based software research and development company, to develop a computational model to simulate varying scenarios in which two patients share one ventilator. Read more here.
