PEMBUATAN PROTOTIPE PRESSURE REGUATED VOLUME CONTROL (PRVC) VENTILATOR

Abstract

Abstract

Currently the spread of the corona virus is shaking the world, which can be transmitted quickly, the spread of this virus can attack the patient's breathing, so that some victims experience shortness of breath and need a ventilator to help sufferers in breathing. In this study, an inexpensive ventilator will be designed to help patients. The ventilator will be designed in Pressure Regulated Volume Control (PRVC) mode, this mode can control the volume and pressure of air entering the patient's lungs, so that the patient does not experience trauma due to pressure or volume that is not according to medical standards. To control this, the ventilator will use a flow sensor and pressure sensor which will be controlled by a microcontroller and adjust the air pump from the oxygen tank to release air according to the required pressure and volume to the mask used by the patient to breathe. This tool can monitor the parameters needed and can adjust it according to the patient's condition and the power source of this tool is a battery so that this tool is portable, the ventilator settings will be set with a tidal volume of 500 ml with each breathing cycle taking 5 seconds so that the breath per breath. The result is 12 breaths / min. From the test results, data is obtained in the form of pressure reaching 13.04 cmH2O at full speed of the air pump.
