Wow thank you so much! I feel like investing more energy into building these machines would save more lives than just ventilators? For the people who have been put on these machines I wonder what the mortality rate is compared to those that can't get access to them... [edit] i'm definitely not implying we should pull resources away from ventilator production just why not also put resources into these machines too

- taf2 7y agoThanks again - seems like a good engineering problem to solve
- joezydeco 7y agoIf you can solve the problem of oxygenating blood without damaging white cells, you'd be onto something.
- taf2 7y agowhat about a different solution https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing - is this possible? instead of pumping air into the lungs... an oxygen rich liquid? Could even use it as a method to maybe rinse the lungs of dead cells?
