AMBU BAG BASED PORTABLE LIFE SUPPORTING VENTILATION APPARATUS

Abstract

The "Ambu bag-based portable life-supporting ventilation apparatus" is an innovative solution designed to provide effective respiratory support in emergency and clinical settings. Combining the simplicity of traditional Ambu bags with advanced automation, this device addresses the critical limitations of existing ventilators, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. The apparatus features an Ambu bag as a flexible reservoir for delivering air or an air-oxygen mixture, allowing both manual and automatic ventilation. An actuator system compresses the bag to ensure consistent airflow, reducing the physical effort required from healthcare providers. Equipped with a microcontroller, the device processes data from integrated sensors that monitor critical parameters like pressure and oxygen saturation, enabling real-time adjustments for optimal patient care. A user-friendly interface displays vital information and includes alarms to alert clinicians to any issues. Designed for portability, the lightweight apparatus operates on a rechargeable battery, making it suitable for use in various environments. Safety features, including valves to prevent over-inflation and backup systems for reliability, ensure patient protection. Overall, this invention enhances timely respiratory support, significantly improving outcomes for patients facing acute respiratory challenges. In summary, the "Ambu bag-based portable life-supporting ventilation apparatus" fills a critical gap in respiratory support technology. Its innovative design enhances the ability of healthcare providers to deliver timely and effective ventilation, especially in emergencies where conventional ventilators may be unavailable. By prioritizing portability, user-friendliness, and patient safety, this invention stands to significantly improve outcomes for patients suffering from acute respiratory issues
