As you’ve certainly heard by now, ventilators could be in short supply in our hospitals in a matter of days. Without a solution, our doctors could very easily find themselves in the same boat that Italy and Spain are in: Having to decide who gets a ventilator, and who dies. Kevin Low of Gecko Robotics has designed two ventilator splitters that allow one ventilator to be used by two or four patients. The ICU teams at Rose Medical has put this design to the test and given it the green light. And yes, a single ventilator is strong enough to ventilate 4 patients simultaneously. This could increase the number of ventilators we have available in the state by a factor of 4. Our goal is to harness the incredible manufacturing power of Colorado Makers to help save the lives of our friends and neighbors.
