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).
