An Introduction to Low-Cost Portable Ventilator Design

Mechanical ventilation is a life-saver in the development of modern ICUs. This paper provides an idea of origin of modern mechanical ventilators. Based on reviewed literature, a simple, easy-to-use and easy-to-build design of low-cost portable ventilator is proposed in this paper. The proposed ventilator prototype is assumed to have better working performance than already available in market in very low cost. This ventilator will help in the situation like COVID-19 when the whole world facing the difficulties related to ventilators.
