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