Description
Summary:The COVID-19 epidemic has led in severe shortages of ventilators worldwide. A manual ventilator is a simple form of ventilator that employs a bag and mask to open the airway and provide considerable ventilation. Bag-Mask Ventilation (BMV) is an important component of manual ventilation because it enhances both airflow and respiration. A simpler mechanism of a electromechanical ventilator with a BMV is presented and constructed for ventilation in this study. The bag is operated by a rack and pinion system powered by a DC motor. The rack and pinion compresses and decompresses the bag in response to a control signal. To evaluate the reaction of BMV to ventilation, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is performed The proposed design, which is comparable to the BMV's manual ventilator, was modelled using Solidwork and Ansys for the tidal volume. It can be used for urgent medicine while avoiding risks.
