As healthcare services continue to evolve, there is an increasing demand for innovative technologies that streamline patient care and enhance the efficiency of healthcare providers. Manual ventilation using Ambu bags is a critical practice in emergency and critical care settings, requiring continuous and precise management to ensure patient safety and optimal treatment outcomes. However, manual operation can be labor-intensive and prone to inconsistencies, especially given the high workload of healthcare providers.

The development of Ventilatech, an automated Ambu bag ventilator, addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced technologies to provide consistent and reliable respiratory support. Ventilatech employs autosqueeze technology to automate the manual squeezing of the Ambu bag, allowing for precise control over ventilation parameters such as volume and pressure. This innovation minimizes the risk of human error and ensures consistent delivery of respiratory support. Additionally, Ventilatech features a user-friendly interface designed for easy setup and intuitive operation, reducing the learning curve for healthcare professionals.

This research study encompasses several phases, including conceptual design, prototype development, and validation through trials and user feedback. Ventilatech's performance will be evaluated in various healthcare settings, including hospitals, emergency response scenarios, and home care environments. The study will also assess the device's impact on workflow efficiency, user satisfaction, and patient outcomes.

The anticipated outcomes of this research include a comprehensive understanding of Ventilatech's functionality, usability, and reliability. By providing an efficient and user-friendly solution for automated ventilation, Ventilatech has the potential to enhance healthcare service delivery, reduce the workload of healthcare providers, and improve patient safety. The findings of this study will contribute to advancing the field of medical technology and inform future developments in automated respiratory support devices.

In conclusion, this research study presents an innovative approach to addressing the limitations of manual Ambu bag ventilation. The development of a user-friendly, accurate, and effective automated ventilator like Ventilatech holds significant promise for improving convenience and reliability in healthcare services, ultimately benefiting patient care and safety.
