(EDIT: ignore this paragraph, it’s not true) I’ve seen this discussed on another forum. Apparently, medical grade condensers require the patient to be put in a pharmacological coma so that their body doesn’t fight all that air being shoved down their lungs. Makes sense since usually only stuff that’s potentially harmful requires prescription.
Also, I’ve seen open discussions in at least one democratic country of confiscating privately owned condensers for the public healthcare. So if you end up buying some equipment, you will want to keep your mouth shut and perhaps use cash if possible.
I’m confused by what you mean by “medical grade condensers”. AFAIK, the type of condenser I’m talking about just delivers high oxygen content air through a nasal cannula or a face mask. I think you might be talking about ventilation, which involves shoving a tube down the patients throat and forcing high oxygen air in and out of their lungs.
Could you point me to where those discussions happened? I’d be interested in seeing whether government confiscation is likely to happen and maybe if I can make it more probable in some way. (I think that government confiscated currently unused oxygen concentrators and distributing them to hospitals is probably a very good thing.)
Thank you, you are right re. condensers. I confused them with ventilators. Re-reading this thread, it’s great to see that condensers alone greatly increase the chance of survival.
maybe if I can make it more probable in some way.
In that case I won’t assist you. I appreciate your honesty, though.
