Development of a Bimodal Electronic Resuscitator Prototype for Adult Patients

Abstract

Resuscitators are devices that favor resuscitation in two types of arrests: respiratory and cardiopulmonary. The correct application of resuscitation can save lives and prevent neurological sequelae; however, few people are trained to give this kind of medical attention. In this work, we present the development of a bimodal electronic resuscitator prototype for adult patients focused on automating the process of respiratory and cardiopulmonary ventilation. For the prototype development, the verification of the compatibility of the working range for adult patients and the pump control completion, that determines the insufflation required by the patient, were regarded. The insufflation has a feedback system to measure the pressure that is provided to the patient and correctly regulate it. The action of the pump generates two treatment options depending on the type of procedure that is required. The prototype considered safety parameters to avoid health consequences and assure the security of the patient. The electronic resuscitator prototype is automatic and portable.
