Hopkins researchers develop a robotic system to remotely control ventilators

https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/09/hopkins-researchers-develop-a-robotic-system-to-remotely-control-ventilators The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused a surge of patients requiring mechanical ventilation in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) rooms. Consequently, the units now require increased staffing of trained respiratory therapists in addition to more ventilators. Every small change on a ventilator requires staff to enter a patient room, which risks potential exposure, and to…
