AB  - Although nasal CPAP or NIV is used to manage some patients with acute lung injury due to COVID 19, such patients also demonstrate increased minute ventilation which makes it hard, if the device is used in line with the manufacturer’s instructions, to achieve adequate oxygen delivery.  In addition if a hospital contains many such patients it is possible that the oxygen requirements will exceed infrastructure capacity.  Here we describe a simple modification of two exemplar ventilators normally used for domiciliary ventilation which substantially increased the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) delivered
