Diy Ventilator Using Arduino With Blood Oxygen Sensing for Covid Pandemic

Abstract

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) threatens to overwhelm our medical infrastructure at the regional level causing spikes in mortality rates because of shortages of critical equipment, like ventilators. Human lungs use lungs for respiration. They use push mechanism in each Breath. Inhalation and exhalation process takes place. The ventilator here we design is to help people during Covid situation. It is very cheap and affordable. When people suffer from lungs or breathing problem this can be used for emergency situation. Motor mechanism is used to push the air bag. When oxygen level counts are low this mechanism can be performed. Small screen is used to display the oxygen levels. The entire system is driven by an Arduino microcontroller And a buzzer is fitted to detect any low levels of oxygen count. In this study, after providing a background on ventilators, the academic literature is reviewed to find the existing and designs for ventilators systems. With the considerably larger motivation of an ongoing pandemic, it is assumed these projects will garner greater attention and resources to make significant progress to reach a functional and easily-replicated system. There is a large amount of future work needed to move DIY Ventilators up to the level considered scientific-grade equipment, and even further work needed to reach medical-grade hardware. Future work is needed to achieve the potential of this approach by developing policies, updating regulations, and securing funding mechanisms for the development and testing of DIY Ventilators for both the current COVID19 pandemic as well as for future pandemics.
