Title: When Resources Are Scarce - Feasibility of Emergency Ventilation of Two Patients With One Ventilator Document date: 2020_4_15

Document: Projections on patient numbers in the current Covid-19 crisis have pointed to possible limits for intensive care equipment, i.e. ventilators. This revived the idea to ventilate more than one patient with only one ventilator [1] . Besides potential hygienical aspects, the requirement of sedated, passively ventilated patients represents the opposite of modern intensive care therapy including lung protective ventilation and early spontaneous breathing support. However, in the current situation of a pandemic this might be a life-saving/bridging measure of emergency instead of triage due to a lack of available ventilators.
