Then look at what she has to say one tweet later and she still thinks landlords are fine.

Sorry if I missed most of the respirator chat, but are there any respiratory therapists in the thread? I was curious if ventilators designed for home use could be requisitioned for hospital use and how many could possibly be sitting in warehouses somewhere. Like these:



Just wondering what the technical limitations of these are compared to the ones usually found in ICU's.

The closest I've come was working as an EMT alongside a Paramedic with critical care/vent certs. The LTV1200 you have pictured is actually what we carried and used on the truck. Home vents might not have the same range of settings options that in hospital units would have (this is just a guess - but based on the fact that a patient at home on a ventilator is in a stable condition versus hospital patients which may indeed not be). Might also be some issues with dialing in those settings and alarm setup.

All things that probably could be overcome and the hospital preferred vents could be used on the more critical patients.

But you absolutely can't just take home vents from people or they will die so your question really is only limited to whatever warehouse stock of new units exists which I'm sure will be utilized but I can't imagine that stock will be very high due to modern JIT supply chains and demand forecasting that of course doesn't take into account pandemics.

Fun History Fact:

People often thing of the plague as something that happened once in the early middle ages in Europe and went away. Not true! There were recurring waves of plague for centuries, even into the modern era. In Amsterdam for instance, there were something like 37 outbreaks of plague within 60 years during the 17th century. The worst was in 1664-1665, when it is estimated that 10% of the population of the city died. This spread to England the following year from the Netherlands and became what would be known as the Great Plague of London.

For perspective, the current death rate of those infected with COVID-19 in Italy is currently estimated to be around 9%.
