Abstract

The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in tremendous disruptions of global medical supplies. Supplies related to respiratory support are essential for survival of patients in acute respiratory distress. Before the pandemic, there was limited and predictable demand for these parts, and consequently there were neither sufficient stockpiles nor sufficient manufacturing capacity early in the pandemic. This chapter outlines some practical experiences in rapid implementation of stopgap solutions for respiratory support in the clinical setting.
