dc.description.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. | en_US |
