Low Cost Portable Ventilator

Respiratory equipment used in intensive care units is sophisticated equipment. Their design is to ensure proper ventilation. However, due to their size, weight and the need for external power, these machines are rarely ready to transport patients with respiratory equipment. A portable ventilator is a composite device designed for mechanical ventilation in an area without wires and power cords. Ideally, a portable ventilator, including a source of oxygen and a battery, should be light, sturdy, and able to handle difficult areas with minimal adjustment, and be able to use without gas or electricity available with caution. It should be cheap, easy to use, and offer a range of effective ventilation methods. This ventilator contains a simple arm and a gear mechanism that compresses the bag valve mask with the help of a stepper motor that works on specific system inputs. It includes safety measures to ensure the safety of patients. Citation: Amal Alex, Saju Ajayan, Anandhu Ranganath, Vishnu S Nair. "Low Cost Portable Ventilator."
