The 19th Critical Care Conference, organized by the Hamdan Bin Rashid Award for Medical Sciences, revealed the smallest artificial respiration device in the world, the size of the palm of the hand, that was produced after the Covid 19 pandemic. The patient can carry it with him in the car, office and home, without the need to insert a tube through the nose.
And it works by means of an adhesive placed on the nose, which gives a stormy force within seconds, which avoids the patient spending a long time on traditional respirators, and avoids anesthesia as well.
