Cost Effective Bluetooth Technology Based Emergency Medical Ventilator for Respiratory Support

摘要

During this corona outbreak or any situation of casualties, artificial breathing support might be necessary to the affected patients. This paper presents a porotype design and developing process of low-cost Bluetooth technology-based noninvasive volume control emergency medical ventilator for respiratory support. Arduino mega used as the main control board. The rack and pinion system are used to press the Ambu bag by which pressurized oxygen mixed air can be supply to the patient’s lung. Four control parameters like BPM, I: E ratio, Volume, and Pressure can be set by the keypad of the ventilator manually, and also it can be possible remotely by mobile application. Mechanical design is done in a Solid-work designing software platform. The hardware and PCB design are done in the Proteus software package. Finally, the prototype developed according to design, and the results are presented in this paper.
