scholarly journals An Emergency Portable Ventilator for COVID Patients with Acute Breathing Difficulty

In this paper, a design of a ventilator that meets the demand for emergency ventilators required to help patients with acute breathing difficulty during pandemics such as the current COVID-19 pandemic is presented. The AMBU bag based ventilator can be fabricated at low cost and is easily affordable by hospitals. Based on readily available components, the ventilator will cost about INR6000, and can be easily maintained by even non-technical medical personnel. It works on regular AC supply of 220V and runs on 12V DC supply drawing about 1.5A current. The ventilator is light in weight weighing about 2Kg and is easily portable. The use of individually addressable light emitting diodes and a photo- resistor for positioning of the pushrod is an innovative feature of the ventilator. It meets the requirement of emergency ventilators for use during the waiting period before a full fledged ventilator is available to the patient.

The optical output of near-ultraviolet (NUV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was improved by including a monolayer of hexagonal close-packed polystyrene (PS) nanospheres. PS nanospheres with different sizes were deposited on the indium tin oxide layer of the NUV LEDs. The electroluminescence results showed that the light extraction efficiency of the NUV LEDs was increased by the inclusion of PS nanospheres, and the maximum optical output enhancement was obtained when the size of the nanospheres was close to the light wavelength. The largest enhancement of the optical output of 1.27-fold was obtained at an injection current of 100 mA. The enhanced optical output was attributed to part of the incident light beyond the critical angle being extracted when the exit surface of the NUV LEDs had a PS nanosphere monolayer. This method may serve as a low-cost and effective approach to raise the efficiency of NUV LEDs.
