The Mercedes F1 team has helped develop a breathing aid to keep coronavirus patients out of intensive care. The ventilator will surely help out those patients to fight the Covid-19 as world world is in need for ventilator. Not just the Mercedes but other rival teams having pitched in to provide UK hospitals with thousands of extra ventilators.
Clinicians and mechanical engineers from University College London (UCL) worked with Mercedes to create the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device, which has been approved by the NHS. This device will helps patients with serious lung infections caused by the disease – such as pneumonia – to breathe more easily, when oxygen alone does not prove sufficient.
And more amazingly, the first device was produced in less than 100 hours (just 4 days) at UCL’s engineering hub MechSpace, with 100 of them to be delivered to the university’s hospital for clinical trials and then rolled out nationwide.
Would need to give a big shout out to Mercedes for helping out during this fight againt pandemic
