Design and simulation of mechanical ventilators

open access: yesChaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2021
During this period of COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of medical equipment (like ventilators) leads to complications arising in the medical field. A low-cost ventilator seems to be an alternative substitute to fill the lacking.

Ventilation And Ventilators [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 1982
The history of ventilation is reviewed briefly and recent developments in techniques of ventilation are discussed. Operating features of ventilators have changed in the past few years, partly as the result of clinical progress; yet, technology appears to have outstripped the clinician's ability to harness it most effectively.

Strategies to Inform Allocation of Stockpiled Ventilators to Healthcare Facilities During a Pandemic

open access: yesHealth Security, 2020
During a severe pandemic, especially one causing respiratory illness, many people may require mechanical ventilation. Depending on the extent of the outbreak, there may be insufficient capacity to provide ventilator support to all of those in need.

The Impact of High-Flow Nasal Cannula Use on Patient Mortality and the Availability of Mechanical Ventilators in COVID-19

open access: yesAnnals of the American Thoracic Society, 2020
Rationale: How to provide advanced respiratory support for coronavirus disease (COVID-19) to maximize population-level survival while optimizing mechanical ventilator access is unknown. Objectives: To evaluate the use of high-flow nasal cannula for COVID-

A Remote Control System for Emergency Ventilators During SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesIEEE Embedded Systems Letters, 2021
As COVID-19 began to grip healthcare systems worldwide, worst-case models predicted huge demands for ventilators. The global community sprang to action, producing a large number of emergency “makeshift” ventilator designs.

Design and performance of a flow sensor CoroQuant used with emergency lung ventilator CoroVent during COVID-19 pandemic

open access: yesMeasurement: Sensors, 2022
At the time of COVID-19 pandemic onset in spring 2020 a project CoroVent was initiated with the aim to design and produce emergency lung ventilators and distribute them to hospitals. No flow and tidal volume sensors were available for the project.
