Thank you to our South City neighbor for sharing this important message because we know there are many who are eager to help with treatment for patients with COVID-19, who might also have a CPAP or BIPAP that is not in use.

FROM THE WEBSITE

Places like Italy, Spain and New York City experienced drastic shortages of ventilators during the fight against COVID19. During emergency situations, when there is no or limited access to available ventilators, sleep apnea machines can be converted to provide breathing support for some COVID patients. For example, one potential use case would be during the weaning process from full ventilation. For COVID19 patients weaning from a ventilator can take multiple days. Moving the patient to a converted sleep apnea BIPAP machine would free up a ventilator for COVID19 patients with more serious respiratory disease.
