Description
K Paola López-López and two co-authors wrote a 2025 study that builds a math model to rate how well breathing machines are used in a hospital. The team worked with data from a lung diseases hospital in Mexico. Their sample covered 66 machines used during the year 2023.
The model weighs eleven factors, from how many patients each machine served to how many hours it sat out of service. Three scores rate supply, demand, and daily running, and they merge into one score for clinical use. Each machine then falls into one of four levels, from low to high use. The team found that 42 percent of the machines had low use and 39 percent had fair use. The model gives hospital staff a clear way to spot machines that sit idle and shift them where they are needed.
