University of Minnesota is going 'full-on MacGyver' against COVID-19

University of Minnesota is going 'full-on MacGyver' against COVID-19


A prototype ventilator made at the University of Minnesota used a common red toolbox tray for its foundation.

Upon hearing that a surge of COVID-19 cases could consume all hospital ventilators, Dr. Stephen Richardson rummaged for parts in the medical device lab at the University of Minnesota and built a homemade version.

In a first test last week, the prototype kept a pig breathing for an hour and raised the prospect that low-budget ventilators could be built to solve a shortage. The makeshift ventilator was made from $150 in parts, with a motor ripped from another device and a red metal toolbox tray as its base.

He's a natural!

You don’t want doctors to have shoes? Sickening.

It looks like I could build one of those. They should release the plans and parts needed list. If you are a true Minnesotan you can MacGyver the out of anything.

Seems like it shouldn't be too hard to adapt cpap machines into ventilators. There's millions of them out there.

I heard a doctor answer that suggestion and I didn’t pay close attention but it was something like not enough pressure.
Mine is on 14 units and that’s pretty strong but I guess not enough to pump up the lungs and keeping them from collapsing.

Hey!
What about me and @Turdferguson?

1” and 2” (actually 1.88").
I use the 1 inch mostly unless in a stressed position ... it stretches too much.
