Article Synopsis
- The article presents a low-cost, portable ventilator designed for rapid production to address the global demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic, specifically for patients with severe ARDS.
- This ventilator features robust safety mechanisms, easy disinfection, and modularity, using a manual resuscitator activated by electronically controlled paddles for efficient respiratory support.
- Testing shows the device outperforms human manual ventilation, and complete design files are available to aid production in resource-limited settings, potentially alleviating ventilator shortages in ICUs.
