Tesla Has Sent Over 1,000 Ventilators to Hospitals Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company has donated ventilators to at least 50 hospitals around the country and overseas.
Musk said the shipments were based on 'direct requests' from hospital ICU wards.
It has been reported that some California hospitals received bilevel positive airway pressure units instead of ventilators.
Ventilators are a crucial tool in treating COVID-19 since the disease can cause severe respiratory problems. These machines, sometimes called respirators, move air through the lungs for patients who have trouble breathing.
