Can multiple ARDS patients be ventilated with a single ventilator?

[摘要] Faced with a surge in demand for mechanical ventilators and fewer machines than patients who need them, hospitals are considering ventilating more than 1 patient with a single ventilator (multiplex ventilation). First reported as technically feasible in a test lung model,1 the technique was anecdotally used in humans after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting.
