COVID-19: Usage of Dräger anesthesia devices for long-term ventilation
Rev. 5
Dear Customers and Health Care Professionals,
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11
th
, 2020 with currently
over 2,600,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus illness reported in over 180 countries worldwide. The
pandemic has created a high demand for mechanical ventilation that may exceed the number of available ICU
ventilators in hospitals treating patients with the disease. In the last few days, many customers and health care
professionals have approached us to obtain information about possibly using Dräger anesthesia devices for
long-term ventilation as an alternative ventilator for ICU patients when existing devices are fully utilized and
there is no other ventilator option.
