    The document describes a DIY ventilator designed using an Arduino that can monitor blood oxygen levels and lung pressure. It uses a silicon ventilator bag driven by DC motors to push air in and out at a adjustable rate between 10-30 breaths per minute. Sensors monitor vitals which are displayed on a screen, and an alarm alerts to anomalies. The affordable device aims to help address ventilator shortages during the COVID pandemic.

    DIY Ventilator using Arduino with Blood Oxygen Sensing For Covid

    Pandemic

    Human lungs use the reverse pressure generated by contraction motion of the diaphragm to
    suck in air for breathing. A contradictory motion is used by a ventilator to inflate the lungs by
    pumping type motion.

    A ventilator mechanism must be able to deliver in the range of 10 – 30 breaths per minute, with
    the ability to adjust rising increments in sets of 2. Along with this the ventilator must have the
    ability to adjust the air volume pushed into lungs in each breath. The last but now the least is
    the setting to adjust the time duration for inhalation to exhalation ratio.

    Apart from this the ventilator must be able to monitor the patients blood oxygen level and
    exhaled lung pressure to avoid over/under air pressure simultaneously.
    The ventilator we here design and develop using arduino encompasses all these requirements
    to develop a reliable yet affordable DIY ventilator to help in times of pandemic.

    We here use a silicon ventilator bag coupled driven by DC motors with 2 side push mechanism
    to push the ventilator bag. We use toggle switch for switching and a variable pot to adjust the
    breath length and the BPM value for the patient.

    Our system makes use of blood oxygen sensor along with sensitive pressure sensor to monitor
    the necessary vitals of the patient and display on a mini screen. Also an emergency buzzer alert
    is fitted in the system to sound an alert as soon as any anomaly is detected.

    The entire system is driven by arduino controller to achieve desired results and to assist
    patients in COVID pandemic and other emergency situations.
