Project Summary

There has existed a severe ventilator deficit in much of the world for many years, due in part to the high cost and complexity of traditional ICU ventilators. During the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the first challenges to healthcare systems worldwide was the supply of intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators. In the early days of the pandemic, 30% of hospitalized patients required invasive ventilation. During COVID-19 many people died due to the scarcity of ventilator. Especially in Baluchistan multitude of people were infected by the virus and could not get proper treatment, mostly attributable to shortage of ventilator resulting in death of the patients. This project undertakes the mission to develop a Portable Ventilator using Arduino platform which would meet the demand of ventilator for the COVID-19 affected masses and would also be used for regular requirements. This project would be a novel one because of its efficient operation. In some places like khuzdar, panjgoor etc, shortage of electricity and ventilator, this will be very helpful in these places.

Project Objectives

This project undertakes the mission to develop a Low-Cost Portable  Ventilator using Arduino platform which would meet the demand of ventilator for the COVID-19 affected masses and would also be used for regular requirements.

It need no electricity while use in those places where absence of electricity.

Project Implementation Method

Step1:collecting information about COVID-19 patient and ventilator from lab expert,literature, and also from Doctors. 

Step2: Collecting electronic and non electronic devices of ventilator from different site and electronic shops.

Step3: Design block daigram of circuit.

Step4: connecting all parts with each other by the help block daigram, the mostly parts are connecting with arduino like sensors.

Step5: Programmed the arduino on the basis of mechanism by using C++ platform.

Step6: Testing the all parts and mechanism of ventilator for proper work.

Step7: submitting the result and reports of ventilator to the Phd holders,and then also implement at Ali hospital.

Benefits of the Project

1:As compared to other devices in the market, this proposed device can be made easily available to end users.

2: The proposed ventilator also needs a source of electricity as compared to this ventilator which does not need electricity,

3:Project is linked with Sunstianable Development Goals number three which is Good health and well bieng related with Pakistan undeveloped country like Khuzdar, Panjgur and also those places where shortage of electricity,

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The final delivered of this project a portable emergency ventilator which is hardware system based project, which can act as a good replacement for the commercial ventilators and can be very useful for COVID-19 patients and other patients that suffer from difficulties in breathing. It accepts user-defined ventilator parameters and adjusts the system in order to provide the required compressions and decompressions required to simulate the breathing process. It monitors the critical parameters of the patient and notifies the concerned caretaker in real time.
