| description | In this issue we read with interest the article by
Cabbat and Cho explaining the benefits of
implementing wireless technology to control
mechanical ventilators. In full agreement with them,
especially in this unprecedented time where we are
confronted in the ICU with a highly infectious virus,
I think the time has come for us to be able to control
the ventilator remotely, at least from the outside of
the patient room. In this era of COVID-19
underscored by a shortage of clinicians and PPEs,
this remotely controlled ventilator makes so much
sense for all the reasons they highlighted.
Additionally, in our current era of technological
advances, almost any devices we use in our daily life
has the option of being remotely controlled. Imagine
purchasing a television and having to manually
change and pick among channels much like we did
40 years ago. |
