This is My hive 5 o’clocky blog for today.

Day 2 of special inventions in Corona time. Yesterday i blogged about the mask with the plastic piece in the front to see smiles and do sign language. Today another Dutch invention. The University of Twente in the netherlands is trying to make a new cheaper breathing masks for the current to be realised ICU units in all the hospitals to help the patients with corona.That is cheaper than making the new mask, cause these are already available.

Funny thing is that our kids also have those mask and they snorkel with it in summer, when we were on holiday in Italy.

Corona patients can receive oxygen with this simple snorkel mask. A snorkel mask of two tens can be the solution for many corona patients with respiratory complaints. The University of Twente has converted the mask into respiratory support equipment, which can be used within a few days if approved, this week. A snorkel mask of two tens can be the solution for many corona patients with respiratory complaints. The University of Twente has converted the mask into respiratory support equipment, which can be used within a few days if approved. The snorkel masks cannot replace the ventilators in the intensive care unit, but they can relieve the pressure on the ICU. "The masks can help people who are not yet in such a bad shape.”

More ic beds are available since a week, so they also need more oxygen masks there so this is the perfect solution to add. "These are so-called medium care patients who are under stricter surveillance but are not yet in an IC bed. If you can keep these patients in a better condition with this, you prevent them from ending up on the IC." This can therefore ensure that fewer IC beds are required. Perfect solution and the University was on it and made the adapters. They are made by 3D printing.

In addition, this equipment can ensure that IC beds are available again more quickly. "After-treatment can be done with this type of mask, which means that people can get rid of the IC earlier." The converted masks were received with some skepticism by medical specialists. "Because they would rather not introduce something new at a time when there is great pressure on the employees "But you notice that this is starting to tilt: the need is high, which means that they are open to it." The masks improved by the University of Twente have already been put into use in Strasbourg in France, while in Italy the experience with the earlier model has already been gained. They are positive there, says the professor. "More than 20 percent of hospital patients in Italy have acute respiratory distress. When the mask is offered, it provides immediate relief."
