As the world continues to run from pillar to post in search of solution to the covid19 pandemic, Formula One and University College London have invented a breathing device. The device which took only four days to produce means patients do not need intensive care beds and could leave the hospitals in a couple of days. Mercedes engineers teamed up with UCL to work on the device Dubbed the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), about 100 are currently going into clinical trials at a North London Hospital and could be deplored sooner than later considering the pressure the virus is mounting on the entire world with many getting infected by the minute and other battling for survival. The equipment which pushes air and oxygen into a mask to inflate a patient’s lungs is an alternative treatment for people too frail to undergo invasive ventilation procedures.Advertisement It has already been signed off as safe for medical use by the MHRA safety watchdog and should complete its clinical trial to prove it helps patients at University College London Hospital by the end of this week. The technique has been widely used in Italy, where ventilators are in short supply. Ventilator ‘rationing’ has also begun at one London hospital; with bosses ruling that only patients with a ‘reasonable chance of survival’ should be allowed them.
