Could a CPAP machine be repurposed as a ventilator?
Post Body
One of the concerns with COVID-19 is that there aren't enough ventilators to go around. A ventilator is a machine that pumps air into your lungs. Isn't that what a CPAP does?
With a little firmware tweak that says "on...off...on...off" instead of "always on" , couldn't a CPAP work as a ventilator in an emergency?
