Open Air Source Ventilator
Project Area of Specialization Biomedical EngineeringProject SummaryCoronavirus created a panic all over the world which was very difficult to tackle. Every day a lot of people were dying and hospitals were filled with patients with no capacity to get more patients. People in very serious conditions needed ventilators and many countries were going out of stock of ventilators. So we have rolled up our sleeves now to conquer this battle against corona but still, we need to be prepared for any kind of emergency. In the view of being always ready, we have contributed a part to this process. We will make a smart ventilator which has a database to keep track of patients. Actually, the ventilator is connected with software to operate it which makes it more efficient than other ventilators. It will be an open-source ventilator in which an Ambu bag will be attached with a motor compressor. This Ambu bag was previously pressed manually but we will attach a motor to make it more efficient. This open-source ventilator will be connected to a computer where you will see the graph of the patient’s pulse rate through a connected pulse sensor. In this ventilator, you will use high medium and low modes in the respiratory section where the ventilator operates accordingly. On the same screen, you will also see the oxygen intake value. The screen will show you the information of the patient to be saved. You can save it in the patient’s database to use in future. It will also show a button on the screen which will be used to play some Surah of the Holy Quran. If we come to the ventilator we will see a digital oxygen intake sensor which will give all its data to software. Above this, a voltmeter will be incorporated to keep track of the voltages. Keeping this in view, we will also use the battery to operate it. Along with this we also have manually controlled respiratory function which will be used to increase the air volume and speed of the ventilator. The software will be completely secure and password protected.
Project ObjectivesThe main purpose of this ventilator is to help deserving people by providing low budget economical ventilators. This will improve the economic condition of the country, as Pakistan has flooded a lot of money into expensive health care. By providing low budget and economic ventilators, the budget will be sufficient to allocate to other sectors. Our main objective is to help the government to overcome this shortage and budget barrier. we want to improve this ventilator technology in order to increase efficiency. Treat more people at a faster pace than ever. We want students to be encouraged by this little effort and innovate in theor respective fields
Project Implementation MethodThe project will take about 7 months to be on the ground. In the first month, we will work on documenting our plan and strategy regarding this project. After the first month, we will research the planned components of the project. After the completion of the research, we will move on to buying the material. During the fourth month, we will conduct a market survey and during the fifth month, we will work on making the hardware. After setting up the whole hard and soft structure we will test and run the machine on trial. The seventh and the final month of the project will consume our thesis on the project.
Benefits of the Project>> Benefits in COVID-1 9
1 . It will enable us to treat more people at the same time
2. It will keep the record of patients in order to get results of different experiments
3. It will enable us to focus ahead on the ventilator shortage
>> Benefits of BioMedical
1 . It will endorse innovation
2. It will give a proper insight to researchers from its database
3. We will be able to control the respiratory motion through the controller
>> Cost benefits
1 . Smart ventilators will help us to treat more people by using low-cost economical ventilators.
Final Deliverables will be complete hardware consisting of Amubag, oxygen propulsion system and related auxiliaries.
Soft tools for the monitoring of a patient's vital symptoms will also be the part of the deliverable.
