MIT Researching Alternative That Could Be Used If Hospitals Run Out Of Ventilators
CAMBRIDGE (CBS) – Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are working on an alternative treatment that can be used when a hospital runs out of ventilators.

Doctors are planning to test this approach at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and at a hospital in Colorado.
