Design and prototyping of a low-cost portable mechanical ventilator
… design and prototyping of a low-cost portable mechanical ventilator for use in mass casualty cases and resource-poor environments. The ventilator delivers breaths by compressing a conventional bag-valve mask (BVM) with a pivoting cam arm, eliminating the need for a human operator for the BVM. …

The effects of mechanical ventilation on the development of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
… of respiratory failure have been treated using mechanical ventilation to help maintain gas exchange in the lungs. However, clinical investigators are beginning to discover the adverse effects of mechanical ventilation if it is not applied properly. Specifically, excessive ventilator volumes and …

Soft Robotics Applied to the Development of a Diaphragm Assist System
… lead to respiratory failure, requiring permanent mechanical ventilation. Permanent tethering to a mechanical ventilator via a patient’s mouth or tracheostomy can interfere with a patient’s autonomy by hindering activities like speech and swallowing. This thesis works towards a soft robotic …

RAC1-Mediated Actin Cytoskeleton Remodeling and Monolayer Barrier Properties of Stretched Alveolar Epithelial Cells
Mechanical ventilation is vital for supporting patients with pulmonary insufficiency. However, experimental data suggests that pulmonary injury can occur during mechanical ventilation as a result of elevated regional lung volumes resulting in excessive alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) stretch due to …

Factors related to successful weaning from mechanical ventilation in endo-tracheal intubation patients
… factors related to successful weaning from mechanical ventilation. The 54 subjects selected from medical intensive care unit at one hospital in Suwon city were experienced the planned extubation by medical team. They were able to communicate without any restriction. This study obtained …

Computational Modelling and Treatment Optimization of Acute Endovascular and Respiratory Conditions
… a low-cost, rapidly deployable emergency ventilator design using a novel fluidic oscillator was developed. The design addresses potential ventilator shortages resulting from the ongoing and future pandemics by converting a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine into a …

Automated Detection of Incomplete Exhalation as an Indirect Detection of Auto-PEEP on Mechanically Ventilated Adults
… through incomplete exhalation as revealed by ventilator graphics for mechanically ventilated adults. Auto-PEEP can cause adverse effects if allowed to linger and if not quickly identified. An automated detection system will be instrumental in helping to quickly identify auto-PEEP. A …
