I'm an intensivist and I really hope that ventilator won't be mounted on the bed like they show in the picture. That's a very bad idea, you need that space to access the patient.

One of the requirements reads:

"Ideally small and light enough to mount on patient bed and orientation independent functioning."

While floor mounted operation is the mandatory requirement, it seems that it's not always a bad idea to have it mounted on the bed.

It's normally mounted at the short ends. Not the sides.
