Israeli Physician’s Invention May Soon Help COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Patients

A medical device invented by Dr. Eliezer Be’eri of Jerusalem’s ALYN Hospital 10 years ago is in an advanced approval stage by Chinese authorities for use with COVID-19 patients. Once it is approved — which may happen in a matter of weeks — the CoughSynch machine will remove secretions from patients’ lungs and may help slow the spread of the epidemic. The positive effects of the machine will not be limited to patients infected with coronavirus.
 
Quote: “What happens when you cough? You take a deep breath of air in and rapidly expel the air, which clears the secretions because the airflow is so fast. CoughSync connects to the ventilator and works in synchrony. The ventilator gives the person a breath in, and the suction device sucks the air out rapidly as if the patient coughed, bringing the secretions up without disconnecting the ventilator. It is a completely noninvasive method of clearing secretions that reproduces normal physiology.” — Dr. Eliezer Be’eri, inventor of CoughSync
