A Portable BVM-based Emergency Mechanical Ventilator

Abstract

The paper deals with development of an artificial lung ventilation. The aim of the paper is to present developed ventilator based on bag-valve-mask, which could be used as alternative to mechanical ventilator in critical situations related to COVID-19. At first, we present basic principles of positive pressure ventilation. Subsequently, we introduce a requirements to emergency mechanical ventilator in order to be suitable alternative in hospitals as well as in households. The mechanical and control design are presented in the next section. Finally, we experimentally verify developed ventilator with focus on measured pressure of patient airways. The presented results show a potential of developed ventilator to be used at practical level.

Modeling of an online learning architecture for mechanic ventilation integrating teleoperated equipment using colored Petri nets

“…In this sense, digital transformation technology can be implemented in order to minimize medical exposition in academic preparations and patient attention. Although several academic and commercial lung emulators have been developed, [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] and the pandemic scenery has motivated the design of mechanical ventilators, [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] limited information on cyber-physical architectures that allow teleoperation has been referenced. In fact, a taxonomy composed of ten properties grouped according to three criteria: buildability, adaptability, and scalability, to classify the initiatives about ventilation mechanical is presented.…”

Low Cost and Portable Mechanical Ventilator

“…And portability adds a plus point because making it, this much portable will also eliminate many of its transportation difficulties and hazards. And in this way, it could be easily circulated worldwide, thus, the aim of serving humanity would be well accomplished [11][12][13][14][15][16][17].…”
