Can someone explain what a "reanimation device" is? It sounds like a bad translation. Some sort of ventilator?

- erik_seaberg 7y ago"resuscitation device"? I agree there's sort of a Frankenstein vibe to it. https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=auto&tl=it&text=reanimation%20device https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=auto... https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=auto&tl=en&text=dispositivo%20di%20rianimazione https://translate.google.com/#view=home&op=translate&sl=auto...
- s0rce 7y agoI assume its a vent based on everything I've read saying that we will likely run out of those.
- toyg 7y agoIn Italian hospitals, there is traditionally a difference between Intensive Care Units ("Terapia Intensiva") and Reanimation ("Rianimazione") departments. Don't ask me what the difference is. A lot of what they do, however, tends to overlap, so in many places the two concepts were merged into a single department - which is basically what we'd internationally call an ICU dept. So in this case "reanimation device" is just "a device used in ICU".
