Those will be useful for patients who would otherwise need AMBU bags which are manually operated. - TWuG Apr 1, 20:21 11
- I’m sure that’s what he intended. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 1, 20:26 10
  - I can guarantee it is. What I'll be interested to know is what type of ventilators Tesla and GM will be building. Something similar - TWuG Apr 1, 20:46 9
    - I 100% agree on the donations aspect. - Volnelk Apr 1, 21:10
    - if that was the plan, in classic Elon style it's half-assed and underthought. CPAP machines likely aerosolise the virus and make transmission more - mafic Apr 1, 21:06 6
      - I've seen a couple articles about how local hospitals are converting cpap machines, anesthesiologist machines, also tube splitting to serve 2/4even 8 -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 1, 21:15 5
        
        This. Also, he didn't just go half-assed. He consulted to see what was needed. -- (edited) - TWuG Apr 1, 21:23 4
        
        better than nothing in a pinch, but the American Society of Anesthesiologists issued guidance more than a month ago that they shouldn't be used. - mafic Apr 1, 21:34 3
        
        That was a month ago. Other medical orgs (overseas, mostly) made bipap (different from cpap) work. - TWuG Apr 1, 21:38 2
        
        it's for both cpap and bipap, and still stands now. -- nm - mafic Apr 1, 21:40 1
        
        I would expect the advisory to change in the face of the escalating crisis. If it doesn't change, a lot of people will die who don't need to. -- nm - TWuG Apr 1, 21:55
    - And with this conversion, bipap machines could be converted to invasive ventilators rapidly. -- (link) - TWuG Apr 1, 20:53
He thought he was getting a deal, didn't read the eBay description, bought junk. So, like someone's mom? -- nm - Mop Apr 1, 20:12
I have one of those! It will keep me safe. -- nm - Max Apr 1, 20:11
