Some of the Respiratory Therapists I’ve spoken to say if the patient needs the same settings, they have had success with running one ventilator for two patients. But, none of them have done it with real patients. No one is going to have that experience. Why would you have that experience? It’s a very extreme option.
As I said, when I was in training and everyone in my class tried to do it, we all killed the patients. No one in any class had ever done it successfully. But..... the tech in ventilators are a lot more advanced than back in my day.

You contradicted yourself in this post.

Which is it?
