The eSpiro Ventilator: An Open-Source Response to a Worldwide Pandemic

Abstract: Objective: To address the issue of ventilator shortages, our group (eSpiro Network) developed a freely replicable, open-source hardware ventilator. Design: We performed a bench study. Setting: Dedicated research room as part of an ICU affiliated to a university hospital. Subjects: We set the lung model with three conditions of resistance and linear compliance for mimicking different respiratory mechanics of representative intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Interventions: The performance of the device was test… Show more

“…The COVID-19 pandemic triggered many strategies to challenge the risk of ventilators shortage. [1][2][3] One was the development of new low-cost ventilators 4 as recently proposed. A second strategy was a large-scale production of intermediate ventilators dedicated to emergency room and patient transport with the help of nonmedical industry, as was the case in France where the government asked car manufacturer Peugeot SA to build 1500 Osiris 3 (Air Liquide Medical System, Antony, France), and in the United States where government ordered the purchase of 200 000 ventilators from 11 companies in the country.…”
