Lay summary
The current interest in respiratory failure due to COVID-19 has focused interest in solutions to improve outcomes when patients are on prolonged periods of oxygen supplementation and ventilation. We have a new experimental device that we think will improve the efficacy of patient respiratory support and thereby improve patient outcomes. This study will provide key proof of concept for our novel concept.
