Abstract
Demands on emergency responders and other medical personnel have risen since the pandemic, especially in underserved rural areas. Ventilators are costly and can be difficult to use without training. To simplify cable management and improve ease of use, the research team designed and prototyped a 3D-printed manifold and tubing sleeve for Ventis Medical’s emergency-use ventilator.
