Application Specific Single Electropneumatic Mechanical Ventilator (VMPES) for Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Caused by COVID-19.
Coordination: Pedro Santos Almeida and Thiago Cesar Nascimento
Description: Mechanical ventilation (MV) has been required in patients who present with Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS or ARDS) due to COVID-19 in moderate and severe cases. In Brazil and in the world, there are already indications that the available VMs are insufficient to meet the eventual peak of demand for the infection. The production of VMs even with emergency measures occurs at a rate well below that necessary for internal needs. The current proposal is to specify and build a VM that is compatible only with the ventilatory support needs of patients with ARDS, which would greatly simplify the design and construction, and consequently the manufacturing speed by the national industry.
