- The Department of Science and Technology tied up with the Wipro 3D to jointly build proto type of automated ventilators.
- The ventilators will help in meeting urgent requirement of Covid-19 crisis.
- The ventilators are called AMBU (Artificial Manual Breathing Unit).
- They are hand held devices that will provide automatic pressurized ventilation to the patients that are not breathing or facing extreme difficulties in breathing.
- The AMBU is portable and hence will be ideal to suit the temporary hospital beds set up in railway coaches.
- It has provisions to add PEEP (positive end expiratory pressure) as an extra component in order to maintain pressure.
