To take on the shortage of ventilators caused by COVID-19, developers from the Army Research Laboratory are collaborating with civilian partners to manufacture low-cost, emergency ventilators suitable to be 3D printed.

The handheld gas ventilator, dubbed the Illinois RapidVent, is roughly the size of a water bottle. Beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, due to its size and portability, the ventilator may also be ideal for Soldiers in battle, said Tonghun Lee, an Illinois-based researcher for the Combat Capabilities Development Command Army Research Laboratory.

notice that there is no intubation so that the techniques of murdering patients by misuse of intubation cannot be applied with these ventilators.
