Open-AirVentGT Emergency Ventilator Provides Patient Monitoring, Feedback Control | Research Horizons

A research team at the Georgia Institute of Technology has created a prototype for a low-cost, portable emergency ventilator that uses electronic sensors and computer control to manage key clinical parameters such as respiration rate, tidal volume (the amount of air moved into and out of the lungs during each cycle), inspiration and expiration ratio, and pressure on the lungs.  Bioengineering and Bioscience Electronics and Nanotechnology People and Technology
