A Video on various questions on what to do, and not to do
An intresting article on the use of 3D Printed Venthilator Valves when the supply of the Proper ones ran out in an Italian Hospital (probably not as safe/tested/reliable etc, so not saying MEDICAL TECH HAS NO USE, but it is intresting to see 3D Printing filling a need of such a critical resource and "getting the job done". Also it was all external so it thus had far less requirements (no need for biocompatability/autoclavable etc)
