Study of Ventilator System For Covid 19 PATI

Abstract

The recent pandemic of Covid-19 has diffused and become concerned to the world. Covid-19 has infected more than 100 million of reported cases according to the WHO with more than 2 million deaths. Shortness of breath is found in 18.6% of Covid-19 infected people. The people suffered from acute difficulty in breathing need a help from ventilator for breathing. The ventilator plays important role in saving the Covid-19 patients and other patients suffering from acute breathing difficulty. Ventilator can aid the patient to breathe easily and supporting the lungs by letting in the sufficient air. It’s hard to find a ventilator while the demand gets increased in a pandemic like Covid-19. Our goal is to design and construct a low-cost and straightforward ventilator system, test the performance and implement the ventilator system. To achieve our goal, we divided our works in 5 stages. They are study, design, component collection, assembling and completion of project. Before starting the product designing, we have studied regarding journals and thesis papers and taken information from it (reference) to determine the design of the product. we decided to make the Ventilator System using Bag Valve Mask (BVM), Servo Motor, Relay, Arduino Nano, SMPS, Oxygen Cylinder, LCD Display, Regulator and switches. Our designed ventilation system worked beautifully and as we expected. our Ventilator System is still under development. The model can be improved by making some changes in the program written by Arduino Software IDE and components.
