Background of the invention
In present days ventilators have become most important device in the medical field after the COVID 19. Very limited and costly breathing units or ventilators are available in the market. Some of such inventions are discussed below.
Reference has been made to WO2019229776 titled "AUTOMATED ARTIFICIAL BREATHING DEVICE" by Joseph L. MATHEW dated 2018-06- 01, embodiments of the present invention in general, relates to medical devices, and more particularly, to a portable automated breathing device and system. The present invention provides an electromechanical device for automated controlled artificial breathing, in order to replace manual ventilation. The invention has the added advantages of capability to correct artificial breathing during events such as, but not limited to, patient cough, circuit blockage and/or leak.
Another reference has been made to WO2021130737, titled "Automatic artificial breathing unit bag operating device" by Rajeev Chauhan dated 2019-12-22, embodiments of the present invention, is connected to a regular adult AMBU. The device works on the principle of electric linear actuator, which converts the rotary motion into a linear motion. It has a mechanism to rhythmically compress the AMBU. A Direct Current (DC) motor (12-24 Volts) gives the linear motion through electric linear actuator arrangement. In addition, this DC motor has a speed regulator which is used to modulate the frequency of respiratory rate (varying from 12 to 20 squeezes per minute) for supplying the air/oxygen mixture into the lungs of the patient. There is
a provision of the common platform so that AMBU bag can squeeze automatically as per the regulated speed setting in speed regulator of DC motor. The tidal volume generated is regulated and displayed using a flow meter sensor. The compliance is also tested for rate and range of lung volumes per minute. The safety of this device is ensured by incorporating volume and pressure microsensors at patient end. Moreover, device is incorporated with disconnection alarm.
Another reference has been made to US4495946A, titled "Artificial breathing device" by Joseph Lerner dated 1981-03-17, a device for artificial respiration is attached by an unobstructed air duct to the outer end of a flexible endotracheal tube or to a breathing mask. It is provided with a regulating valve which has its inlet side connected to an oxygen supply via an "on-off" time-cycling apparatus of known design, while its outlet side is connected to the air duct through a small-bore tube which extends close and parallel to the air duct wall in the direction towards the mask or the endotracheal tube. Oxygen passing through the smallbore tube into the air duct at great velocity draws air from the outside by injector action and presses it into the lungs of a patient. Upon the end of the "on"-cycle the air is expelled by the elasticity of the lungs and of the chest cavity and can freely escape through the unobstructed air duct, which likewise permits the ejection of mucus, blood and other excretions.
Another reference has been made to US20210299378A1, titled "EMERGENCY VENTILATOR" by Air Boost LLC dated 2020-03-31, this disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to emergency ventilators. An emergency ventilator may determine one or more adjustable parameters associated with controlling a ventilator device to supply air to a user, wherein the one or more adjustable parameters are determined based at least in part on breathing thresholds associated with the user.

In certain disease conditions the ability of body to maintain breathing is compromised, thus warranting external mechanical breathing support. The common methods thus employed are masks covering the nose & mouth, invasive airways or various kinds. An Artificial manual breathing unit (AMBU) is often used to provide
mechanical ventilation in such cases. The cases requiring such ventilation are encountered in routine as well as emergency situations.
The device has two opposing symmetrical restrained clamps (1 & 2) hinged at their proximal end, with a central custom designed double envelop worm gear (3) interlocked mechanism in the custom designed cogs of the proximal ends of the clamps (1 & 2), the double envelope worm gear (3) being itself locked longitudinally on the shaft of a motor (4).
