Johns Hopkins has created a system that will help protect its providers from contact with patients being treated for COVID19 who require ventilator support. The current innovation allows healthcare providers to change ventilator settings from outside of the patient's room. The device is a touch screen instrument which would translate the providers selections on a screen to a robotic stylus which would select ventilator changes at the bedside. The device is already being used and trialed within Johns Hopkins ICU, and could potentially be translated into use with any device/equipment inside the patient's room that utilizes touch screen controls.

In my opinion, with experience in the Intensive Care setting with ventilatory care, I believe that the pros of this innovation outweigh the cons. As an exempt nurse at this time, and as a charge nurse in our unit, this device would very much assist in my personal ability to monitor the patient from outside the room. This device, along with outside monitors and a window view of the patient, would allow for exempt and non - exempt care providers alike to have a full view of the patient's care while limiting exposure and use of valuable PPE. Though the system may malfunction, as any piece of equipment may, the repercussions of the malfunction seem to be of minimal consequence with the ability to manually control the ventilator if the system goes down.
