I was puzzled by reports that the Dyson ventilators which had been commissioned in a panick have now been cancelled.
In an unconnected story I read about an alternative much cheaper and more effective piece of kit.
It appears that Warrington have been trialling a much simpler device which they call a 'black box', used for breathing disorders during sleep.
The ventilators have a 50/50 success rate, but they are claiming that after using this black box to see an improvement in many patients after 15 mins!
Too good to be true or a godsend?

Clinicians say there has been less need for the more intrusive ventilators and they have had a far quicker patient recovery rate.
