Abstract
Respiratory equipment used in intensive care units is sophisticated equipment. Their design is to ensure proper ventilation.
However, due to their size, weight and the need for external power, these machines are rarely ready to transport patients with
respiratory equipment. A portable ventilator is a composite device designed for mechanical ventilation in an area without wires
and power cords. Ideally, a portable ventilator, including a source of oxygen and a battery, should be light, sturdy, and able to
handle difficult areas with minimal adjustment, and be able to use without gas or electricity available with caution. It should be
cheap, easy to use, and offer a range of effective ventilation methods. This ventilator contains a simple arm and a gear mechanism
that compresses the bag valve mask with the help of a stepper motor that works on specific system inputs. It includes safety
measures to ensure the safety of patients.

I. INTRODUCTION
Respiratory infections and respiratory failure caused by injuries reflect moderate social suffering in each of the developed countries
and in other less developed countries. Portable Ventilators are lightweight and can be transported without problems from one place
to another at the hospital. They provide long-term care to patients who are no longer in need of special ventilators. Reiley's Weekes
[1] weeks have designed and outlined for the improvement and validation of open, portable and low-cost airflow that can quickly
be made with minimal detection to bring about chain disruption. This single continuous, compulsory, closed, open, air-conditioned,
emergency protection mode provides strong protection and power that is not present in the air-current response system. Food and
Drug Administration Requirements for Prevention and Efficiency, Emergency Use Authorization is in testing for this device. This
emergency respirator should set air pressure or opposing isolation to benefit a few patients. All the facts of the suspension and
certification are dedicated to assisting the production of wind turbines even in limited resource facilities.
Darwood J [4] performed tests and evaluated a simple, low-pressure ventilation system using single stress detection and
algorithm management system. It is designed to provide efficient air travel at a discounted rate, at the same time as independently
tracking the status of the affected person and important safety precautions. The prototype ventilator was modified and tested for
the use of an anesthetic that looked at the lungs as a contraceptive. Using a consistent view of the lung and virtual stress sensor,
we investigate to detect leaks of air conditioning. During a positive pressure flow that occurs from time to time to look at the lung,
the model device ensures the appropriate waveform parameters: all measured circuit leaks ≥ 6 mm2 length detected; Compliance
adjustments were obtained between 10 ml.cmH2O - 1, 20ml.cmH2O - 1 and 50 ml. cmH2O - 1; and an adjustment to the acquisition
has been found everywhere that would have been the result of a measured variance. These results show that this model generation
has the potential to provide safe airflow without the use of any sophisticated visual sensors or Simultaneous software development
and configuration allow full size and complexity discounts. Experimental exhibitions in addition to drawings are now well suited
to advancing the generation to clinical trials.
Shao Yung Lu [3] describes the design of a high-frequency air conditioner and evaluates its performance in addition to
medical science applications. A microscopic respirator is used with a visual controller and a commentary device for stabilization
and precision handling. The effectiveness of CO2 washout the use of the proposed ventilator was confirmed in animal experiments.
The proposed device achieves a modified DP variant of 5 ~ forty-five psi, and an I: E rating of 10 ~ 70%, oxygen awareness 20%
~ 100%, and 0 charge charges ~ four L / min. All parameters are displayed on the LCD display and are controlled from the pc
interface. The proposed ventilator has a compact length of 20 x 15 x 17 cm3 which is significantly smaller than current HFJVs, and
test results recommend the strength and performance of the proposed metal. With its flexible layout, adjustable features, and prompt
comment management, this HFJV can be medically employed in addition to non-hospital and ambulance arrangements and home
health care, making the scientific solution much easier.
III. COMPONENTS
A. Power Source
It contains some of the gas supply to the patient, as well as the energy needed to carry the breathing apparatus. Therefore, this
section includes a gas supply system, batteries and a power adapter for mechanical ventilator. Here it uses a 12V adapter, 2A DC
to supply the existing ventilator.
1) Backup Battery
This ventilator consists of a 12v lithium-ion battery for the backup power source.
B. Mechanical Parts
The components of the ventilator contains calculation of power, bag size and arm and gear mechanism. The arm and gear
compresses the valve bag mask to supply oxygen to the patient.
1) Stepper Motor
A 12-24V, 4.2kg-cm stepper motor is used in this ventilator for the proper working of the two arms.
D. Monitor
A 16 × 2 LCD display is used in this ventilator to monitor air performance. It can work in 8-bit and 4-bit mode.

1) Inspiratory Filters
The inspiratory filter keeps the inhaled gas clean before delivering it to the patient.
2) Expiratory Filters
Expiratory filters are supposed to protect respiratory aids from outdated warm and moist gases, which could damage optimal sensor
values and shorten the life of the device.
3) Alarms
Alarms are usually installed in the ventilator system as protections against unintended adjustments to the oxygen settings and to
identify any malfunction of the ventilator.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS
A functional ventilator is developed that can be run in the test lung machine. The model has a breathing rate and volume of water
that is controlled by the user. Provides auxiliary control and over-alarm alarm. It has low power requirements. The display settings
and conditions are shown on the LCD screen. Further development of this ventilator is planned. Future modifications will be used
that are encouraged by the results of our sample testing. It will include a steady range of expiration rate. We will also add features
including PEEP valve, humidifier and pressure valve. A BVM (bag valve mask) can be easily purchased and installed. Weight can
be reduced and also battery life can be increased. Finally, we will test the respirator with a lung model to meet the respiratory
standards and sell the product. Proper model analysis should be performed when modeling a life size model. As the life-size model
is high in cost, appropriate designs and advanced methods should be used to meet customer needs.
