Low-cost, easy-to-build ventilator performs similarly to high-quality commercial device

A low-cost, easy-to-build non-invasive ventilator aimed at supporting the breathing of patients with respiratory failure performs similarly to conventional commercial devices. Researchers say the prototype ventilator could support treatment of coronavirus and other severe respiratory diseases in low income regions or where ventilator supplies are limited. The research paper provides a free to replicate, open source description for how to build the ventilator.
