Dreamer - 21 Mar 2007 04:11 GMT First Design for Pandemic Ventilator Posted
I have the first design for the Pandemic Ventilator up on my blog at Pandemic Ventilator Project www.panvent.blogspot.com
This is a design for a ventilator you can build yourself from readily available parts such a pipe, tubing electrically operated valves, a Programable Logic Controller (PLC) and a regular computer (PC) if a pandemic arrives. The software to drive the equipment and operate all of the alarm systems will be available as free and open source. Please click on the Digg icon and send this URL to your friends if you think that this is a worthwhile project and that I should keep working on it.

"An influenza pandemic is inevitable." -- Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control
"It is not a question of if but a question of when." -- Dr. Leslie Dauphin, Virologist, Author of The Germ Handbook.
"YOYO means You are On Your Own." -- Keynote speaker for a pandemic preparedness conference.
100% of folks with ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome) from avian influenza virus infection have died despite the best medical care using the best medical equipment when oseltamivir was not started in time (within 48 hours of onset of symptoms).
May GOD bless you in HIS mighty way.

Due to an appalling lack of accursed-world-ending events -- no globlal earthquake, no Purim One-Days War, no global atmospheric conflagration, Tehran annoyingly remaining a city instead of a glowing crater -- and even the insolent refusal of those told "You do not have much longer to live" to cease posting, let alone cease breathing -- Doctor Chung has been forced to find an alternate fuel source for his patented Doctor Death Doom-o-Matic, Generator -- as you may behold here, in wonder and amazement.

>From your citation: All 12 patients had abnormal chest radiographs a median of 7 days after onset of fever (range 3-17 days). Two patients had interstitial infiltration, and 10 had patchy lobar infiltrates in a variety of patterns (single lobe, multiple lobes, unilateral or bilateral distributions). The radiographic pattern progressed to diffuse bilateral ground-glass appearance, with clinical features compatible with ARDS, in all 8 patients who died and in 1 patient who survived (Figure 3). A pneumothorax developed in l patient during mechanical ventilation. The median time from onset to ARDS development was 6 days (range 4-13).
Treatment for all patients included broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs aiming to cover most of the usual and unusual respiratory pathogens. Eight patients were treated with corticosteroid drugs, including 2 patients who survived and 6 patients who died. Seven patients were treated with the neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir at various stages of illness. Treatment tended to have been started earlier in those who survived (a median of 4.5 days from onset compared with 9 days for those who died), and both survivors who were treated received the complete 5-day course of drug, whereas 2 of 5 patients who died received the complete 5-day course (Figure 4).
** END CITATION**
Of the 9 patients that developed ARDS, only 1 survived.
The distinguishing features of the one survivor is early and complete 5 day course of oseltamivir.
Many thanks, much praise, and all the glory to GOD for HIS compelling you to provide this citation.
May GOD bless you.

Should be no problem to put down everything, to ignore the panic, the dead and dying now piling up in your front yard, driveway, under the shrubbery, etc., to head down into the basement to cobble such a device together. And certainly, Radio Shack will be having an influenza pandemic sale on PLCs.
Bird flu is so 1990s, Chung. Can't you come up with something scarier, like cosmic rays reanimating the dead from cemeteries everywhere?

I recently posted some pictures of the bellows unit I constructed for the ventilator. You can see it at my blog at: http://panvent.blogspot.com.
Dreamer - 02 Apr 2007 01:15 GMT I have built the first ventilator prototype and have test run it with the control software. I still have to add the pressure sensor and alarm systems. There is much to do yet. You can see pictures of it and a video of it actually running at my blog at:

Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD - 02 Apr 2007 17:36 GMT Wiser to have oseltamivir on hand at the ready.
We believe that it is possible that human-to-human transmission has occurred for an Indonesian doctor that has become stricken after caring for Bird Flu infected patients.
Thankfully, he has not needed a ventilator because of taking oseltamivir early:
