Smart AmbuBag: A Cloud-Based Automated Respiratory Ventilator

With the Bag-Valve-Mask (commonly known as an AmbuBag or BVM) being widely used to provide emergency ventilation to patients, it is one of the most critical instruments used in the medical industry. As was emphasized in some studies, there is an urgency to implement a resolution to the human error-induced risks posed by the manual BVM. Hence, this study explores how an IoT-Based Automated Valve Mask can aid in resolving accidents born from the use of the manual counterpart. This device aims to propose a solution to the potential root causes of such adverse events in the field. It uses an GSM-based technology to gather the patient's vital signs and the quality of the air. After being tested on both Child and Adult groups, it was remarked that the accuracy rate of the device surpassed 95%.
