Abstract

Modern ventilators are costly and can unexpectedly malfunction due to software issues or outdated operating systems. These issues put patients at severe risk if the ventilators are not switched off on time. As such, an economical standalone data management device has been designed and developed to monitor pressure, airflow, and temperature of the ventilator to mitigate potential risks. To achieve this, an Arduino will used to communicate with pressure, temperature, and air flow sensors. Sensors will be placed on top of a PVC pipe that intercepts with an inspiratory line from the ventilator to the patient. The information will then be displayed onto an LCD screen for physicians to observe patients accordingly. The device failure will not put patients at risk.
