Abstract


This paper describes overview of various research done. The human lungs are used for respirations. They use push mechanism in each breath inspiration and exhalation process takes place. The DIY ventilator here we design is to help people during Covid pandemic. It is very cheap and affordable. When patients suffer from lung or breathing problem this can be used in a patient critical condition. Stepper Motor mechanism is used to push the ambu bag. When breathing pulse level detected are low this mechanism can be performed. The LED screen is used to display the breathing pulse levels. Also, in a patient critical condition or breathing problem buzzer is fitted in the system to sound an alert as soon as any abnormalities are detected. Apart from this the ventilator must be able to monitor the patient's blood oxygen level and exhaled lung pressure to avoid over/under air pressure simultaneously. The ventilator we here design and develop using Arduino encompasses all these requirements to develop a reliable yet inexpensive DIY ventilator to help in times of pandemic.
