    As previously reported, this is perhaps one of the more unusual research developments to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated shortages of ventilators and artificial lungs to assist patients’ breathing and prevent respiratory failure.

      I know the article mentions that, but it hasn’t actually been used to attempt to save the life of any human, with any condition. While it’s promising so far, controlled experiments in a lab are not the same as practical use in a real medical emergency.

      Hence why I wonder if it will work.
