There is likely to be a demand for 21,000 to 24,000 new ventilators if 4% of the patients in the new wave need ICU treatment
AHMEDABAD: As coronavirus infections rage on, the demand for ventilators has nearly doubled in the second wave as compared to the peak demand in the first wave.
The country is facing a shortage of 50,000-60,000 ventilators representing roughly 50% of the country’s total requirement, said Ashok Patel, the founder and CEO of Max Ventilators, one of the country’s leading ventilator manufacturers.
His own company has recorded a two-fold rise in demand in the second wave as compared to the peak demand in the first one last year. Max Ventilators sold 1,000 units in the month of April when the second wave hit the country. In comparison, it sold about 500-600 ventilators in December and January before the demand started falling.
