Ventilator Sharing during an Acute Shortage Caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a rapidly expanding global pandemic. In March 2020, models forecasted imminent exhaustion of regional ventilator supply in New York (1). In response, we developed a novel ventilator sharing strategy to support two patients simultaneously with one ventilator. This report details our initial ventilator sharing experience among patients with COVID-19–associated acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
