Design and Development of an Automated Compression Mechanism for a Bag-Valve-Mask-Based Emergency Ventilator

Abstract: In response to COVID-19 pandemic, universities and related institutions around the world came up with various mechanical ventilator designs to help cope with the expected shortages of ventilators as the pandemic rages. Many of these designs are based on automating the manual operation of the Bag Valve Mask (BVM), a ubiquitous resuscitator device used for emergency ventilation or resuscitation of patients with breathing problems. In this paper, the mechanical design and development process for a BVM-based emerg… Show more

“…Most of the published works have proposed either a form of conventional bag valve mask (BVM) [4] or a pressure regulatory valve system [5]. A BVM system integrates electronic bag squeezing mechanism at a set frequency [6][7][8][9] based on an idea first reported in a research paper by Husseini et al [10]. One of the main disadvantages of these type of systems is that the air volume cannot be adjusted based on the patient's 2 requirement which thus poses a potential risk of damage to the lungs [11,12].…”

“…In [8], the work proposes an automated system of the manual BVM process using industrial sensors and PLC to improve the reliability of the ventilator. Finally, in [5], the authors propose a much more compact and portable design that consists of compression of a plastic air tank.…”
