DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF MECHANICAL VENTILATOR
Abstract
The main idea behind the work is the open-source mechanical ventilator construction at low- cost. In response to a worldwide scarcity of mechanical ventilators for treating COVID-19 patients, a company has developed a new type of ventilator that can be used to treat COVID- 19 patients. A low-cost, open-source mechanical ventilator will help alleviate this scarcity in such places. Only commercially available spare components are used in the equipment described here. In addition, a numerical approach for tracking the health of the patients' lungs is demonstrated in this effort. The approach takes into account pressure data from the inspiratory limb and informs doctors in real-time if the patient is in a healthy or unhealthy state. The benefits of the derived mechanical ventilator were demonstrated in laboratory experiments that mimicked healthy and unwell individuals.
