At least five Los Angeles County hospitals had to turn patients away on Sunday, citing an 'internal disaster.' In the week before Christmas, the state averaged more than 40,000 new coronavirus infections every day. CNN reports that at some area hospitals, aging infrastructure was unable to keep up with the high number of patients needing oxygen. The issue was not the lack of oxygen itself--rather, the buildings were unable to maintain the necessary pressure to deliver the oxygen. Some hospitals are moving COVID-19 patients down to lower floors to make it easier to pump the oxygen through pipes. There are multiple issues involving oxygen delivery to patients, but generally, the problem is not an absolute shortage of oxygen. Dr. Christina Ghaly Director, Los Angeles County Health Services

San José, May 6 (EFE).- Costa Rican scientists on Wednesday tested a prototype of a portable mechanical ventilation machine on a pig, which so far has yielded positive results and could be used on COVID-19 patients pending approvals.The pandemic has forced countries to search for a variety of medical devices to treat patients affected by the virus. Faced with the fight for supply and demand, Costa Rica is working to create its own mechanical ventilators. (Camera: MARÍA JOSÉ BRENS ).

Ralph Garcia: From all the battle worldwide for this type of device, for Costa Rica it is really satisfactory to know that the country has the human and technical capacity to build this type of equipment and guarantee health security in that sense (00:25-00:53).2.) Ralph Garcia: Up until now, all the results both from simulators and in live animals have been positive (01:07-01:13).3.) Andrés Rodríguez: The pig allows us, due to its similarity to our respiratory system, to pass this information to human patients. The pig does not suffer from physical involvement since it is anesthetized. We are monitoring the parameters of blood pressure, oxygenation and carbon dioxide to see that the patient is in normal physiological parameters. (01:31-01:59).
