Thousands of people every year find themselves in Intensive Care suffering a life-threatening illness - and many will experience collapsed lungs. There is no definitive way to best restore the lungs after collapse - sometimes it's done using a ventilator, other times they are manually inflated.
Physiotherapist Matthew Linnane wants to reduce the uncertainty around this process, and identify the best method to restore the lungs of critically ill patients. During his research Matthew will test and trial a range of methods using mechanical and manual pumps, ventilators and suction to create a procedure to improve patient recovery.
This project has the potential to help thousands of people every week!

Independent brewery Stone & Wood is supporting The Common Good with an Ekka Strawberry Sundae inspired strawberries and cream beer.
The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation is calling for an act of kindness from their local communities help overcome the shortfall in funding we have due to the cancellation of the Ekka in 2020.
