Wait first, is it oxygen masks these guys have been calling ventilators?

Doctors in the house am I missing something?

They have no idea what a ventilator is. How do you wean a patient off of the box they have? Ventilator parts are as intricate as the electronic components in a car. It is not just about pushing air into the lungs. It calculates the airway pressure, administers PEEP, etc and has alarms to trigger in the event of any of the set parameters not met. These fellows are looking for someone to kill.

Thank you!

Someone that gets my question.

You mentioned a very important word: intricate.

If you can't make the machine to world standard and proper calibration then don't make at all before you kill people.

9jaRealist:




There are different types of ventilators, each helpful for different respiratory issues...
These seem like noninvasive ventilators, which are different from the invasive types that are prevalent in ICUs.

Thanks for clarifying.

However, if you end up in the ICU, you will be intubated and put on a ventilator(invasive, according to you).

Is it such a machine that has people's lives in its hands that someone will be making anyhow in his backyard?

I wonder oo.
A ventilator is machine that works as your LUNG. To help you breathe air including oxygen to keep you alive and reduce pressure on the lungs. Oxygen supply is from a gas cylinder directly into your nostrils. This increases the quantity of oxygen in your blood to make your body work better.

Nawa o... abeg help me ask o.

A $24,000 machine is what nigerians are now making within 2 days.
