Evaluating cross contamination on a shared ventilator [PDF]
Emergency Medicine Journal, 2020 BackgroundDisasters have the potential to cause critical shortages of life-saving equipment. It has been postulated that during patient surge, multiple individuals could be maintained on a single ventilator. This was supported by a previous trial that showed one ventilator could support four sheep.
