Abstract

COVID-19 has elapsed all over the world with massive losses which indicate the lack of availability of medical equipment during the pandemic such as a ventilator. This is exemplified by the densely populated country Bangladesh who unable to maintain COVID-affected people because of the ventilator. Due to the higher price, unavailability, and manufacturing defection, most medical are unable to purchase this ventilator which causes terrible death for a respiratory problem. Of these cases, this paper represents a way to escape this problem and proposed a mechanical ventilator named “NISHASH” which will help to anticipate COVID affected people and higher price of the ventilator. Through the electromechanical instruments, a prototype lightweight easily moveable where preciously it automatically controls with digital feedback system ventilator which fulfills oxygen flow based on patient requirement are developed with different selection mode. The aim was to design and develop inexpensively automated easy to build to minimize the extreme shortage of the ventilator in Bangladesh. In this model of a mechanical ventilator, the cost is less than $90 where components are available all over the world.
