Invention:
This technology describes a pneumatic ventilator system that benefits from the robustness of manufactured pneumatic elements, leveraging the existing supply of compressed air and O2. The system provides controlled breathing with adjustable frequency and adjustable plateau pressure. This technology can provide benefits for both ventilators and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) applications.
Background:
Ventilators have been a big talking point over the last few months in healthcare as the coronavirus pandemic has moved throughout the world. It has been well documented that a ventilators are, and will continue to be, in high demand.
This technology will try to improve on the current systems being used in pneumatic ventilators and CPAP machines to improve air flow control.
Applications:
- CPAP machines
- Ventilators
Advantages:
- Functionality
- Leverages compressed air
